Default Re: Hmmmm ... more "creative" math

I've done the math, and the LaTortilla tortillas are actually 5.5 carbs each (the small ones), NOT 3, as they advertise.

Calories 60
Fat 2 gms (x9 = 18)
Protein 5 gms (x4 = 20)

60-38 = 22; 22 divided by 4 = 5.5

I still use them, but I usually eat 1/2 of one instead of a whole one now.

Beware the hidden carbs!

By the way, there's a handy-dandy hidden carb calculator at Mary Sweathe's site:

Just punch in the numbers and it does the math for you.
