Labelling - fact or fiction
I was at the grocery store yesterday and checking out labels on almonds. I have already purchased a brand I like but thought I would look into this brand I never purchased. Not only did the carbs not add up, but counting the calories from protein and fat came up to more than the total calories listed !! According to what I have read, manufacturers can fib about the carbs but NOT calories, protein or fat. The can of salted almonds had more carbs than the smoked ones too !! So when in doubt, I usually set the item down and look for another brand, simple as that.
