hiya J,
Carb 3.69
Fat 8.82671
Protein 4.28361
Those are the calorie factors for each nutrient in the particular food group ... and have been calculated by the USDA as a standard. So, in this case for Dairy and Eggs .. the calculation used is 3.69 calories per gram of carb, 8.89627 calories per gram of fat, and 4.28361 calories per gram of protein ... I'm not exactly sure how they come up with the values, but it has to do with water content and bioavailability.
If you'd entered it as a different food group, say .. Snacks, the values would be
Carb 3.94354
Fat 8.62427
Protein 3.28780
As a general rule, the lowcarb protein shake mixes don't have hidden carbs. It's the "lowcarb" bars and sugar-free candy that may not have carbs such as sugar alcohols or glycerine declared on the label.
I've had Whey Gourmet before .. Creamy Caramel Dip is good and Strawberry Banana Smoothy.
