Hmmmm ... more "creative" math
Nutrient data - per slice
calories 35
fat 0
total carbohydrate 8g
fiber 3g
sugar 1g
protein 1g
calorie breakdown -
fat = 0
protein = 1 x 4 = 4
so, 35 - 4 = 31 calories remaining that must come from carbs. Well 8 x 4 = 32. Seems their figure for TOTAL carbs is in fact total DIGESTIBLE carbs .... the fiber has already been subtracted.
This is very misleading, because many people think they should subtract fiber from the total carb count, to get the ECC. WRONG. I've noticed more and more products are doing this, so you really have to read those labels and do the math.
8 carbs for one slice of bread is a lot, since most folks want 2 slices to make a sandwich.
On the subject of fat .... the LaTortilla Factory tortillas are both lowfat and lowcarb too .. .. It's just coincidence I guess. Only thing from my higher carb bread-baking and eating past ... the less fat in the bread, the faster it goes stale. Think of French bread. Stale in a single day!!
