That's right - I'm in the UK...

The quality of beef steaks has gone downhill since Morrisons took over Safeway... While we're talking - be careful with pork chops from Tesco Finest range, they are loaded with preservatives and sugar... |

Safeway... The quality of most things has gone down since Morrisons took over Safeway.Meat particularly and also fruit and veg. They may be cheaper,but at the end of the day you get what you pay for. |

Hi fellow countryperson
I can't believe they don't have Quorn over the pond!? No danger with the pork chops - my big problem with Atkins is that I don't like eggs or red meat!!!

does this mean that the fibre is always deducted in the UK? or do you have to guess whether it has been or not. Linda |

lindad generously shared with us this little ditty:
does this mean that the fibre is always deducted in the UK? or do you have to guess whether it has been or not. Linda Check the label. If the label looks like this: TOTAL CALORIES: CCC TOTAL FAT: FFF TOTAL CARB: XXX FIBER: QQQ Then you have a US style label and the fiber is a subset of total carbs, so you can subtract it. Also for very small labels (single serving snacks) sometimes the catagories are indicated by a difference in font type and/or regular/bold. If the fiber catagory font type is different in some way from the total carb line, either not in bold or different font, then it is an indication of being a subset and you can subtract it. If your label looks like this: TOTAL CALORIES: CCC TOTAL FAT: FFF TOTAL CARB: XXX FIBER: QQQ On single serving snack packages that are too small for the standard panel (in any country), if your FIBER line is in bold or the same type of font as the other catagories then it's already subtracted. If it is a different from the other catagory fonts, it's probably not subtracted. -- revek Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I had to kill because they ****ed me off. |

Eurtopean products are not quite consistant at presubtracting fiber on labels. Only most of the time. or do you have to guess whether it has been or not. No need to guess. Use the hidden carb formula. It will tell you whether carbs are missing no matter if they were falsely deducted "effective" carbs or if they were pre-deducted fiber. Fat is 9 calories per gram. Protein 4. Carbs 4. Multiply them out, add the three, and compare your total with the total calories on the label. If your total matches, no fiber was deducted. If your total does not match, it had to come from something not listed or roundoff error. |
