Hidden
Carb Calculator
Enter
the values on the nutritional information label of the food you'd
like to check. This calculator will tell you if there are any uncounted
carb grams remaining. If so, these should be added to your total
carb count for that food item.
It is highly recommended you contact that food item's manufacturer
to inform them of their mislabeling and inquire as to why they held
out some of the carbohydrates from their count. Taking steps like
this will help insure that manufacturers start taking their labeling
more seriously.
This calculator uses the following formula:
-
(carb
grams x 4) + (protein grams x 4) + (fat grams x 9) = Total Calories
The
calculator checks if the carbs, protein and fat listed on your
nutritional label add up to the total calories listed per serving
of the food item in question. If not, it calculates the calories
NOT accounted for and divides that number by four to come up with
the possible grams of carbs IF carbs are the source of the discrepancy.
