Over the last few days I have been struggling with getting enough calories down. I took a trip to Trader Joe's and shopped the nuts and seeds looking for something that could bump up my calories that wouldn't become addictive (I tried nuts and failed...couldn't put them down). I thought I had found the perfect addition, dry roasted & salted sunflower seeds. The nutrition info per the label was exciting:

Serving Size 1/4 cup
Calories: 190, from Fat: 140
Total Fat: 15g
Colesterol 0 mg
Sodium 135 mg
Total Carbohydrate 1g
Dietary Fiber 1g
Sugars 0g
Protein 11g

Merrily, I purchased a few bags, portioned it out into 1/4 cup portions, brought some to work.

Munched accordingly. Something didn't seem right, so when I got home I came to our wonderful site and put the info into the hidden carb inspector, and look what turned up!

Actual Carb count 6.46 g
Difference by weight 5.46 g

I have now entered my daily food intake into fitday and I have now eaten all the carbs in my bank for two days!!!

The lesson I learned is to check the hidden carb calculator before eating, keep my receipts and return stuff to the store.

How can the label be so wrong???
