Net carbs and calorie counting
I’ve noticed sometimes I will scan a food item into my macro tracking app and it is different from what it says on the label. For example, I just bought a pack of tortillas which say on the label they are 110 calories each. When I scan it in my app it says it’s 220, but all the carb fat & protein amounts are correct, and the serving size. The label is only accounting for the net carbs and not total carbs. Are food companies just lying about the amount of calories? I don’t understand the net carb thing or why they could only count the net carbs and not total. (When I put the net carb amount instead of total carbs in my app, it comes up as 110 calories). I’m so confused about this and would love your guys input!
Cronometer goals
After I set everything in my goals, chronometer supplies my protein as 25 kcal, fat as 30 and carbs as 45. This seems wrong to me. I am way over (like 265%) all the time. What gives? Am I missing something? I have my weight height sex and age in correctly as well as my target weight. I just can’t figure it out. Any insight? Thanks so much
Adjusting calorie intake based on the day’s activity level
New listener and subscriber here! I’m looking to recomp at a slight deficit. I have my daily intake from your calculator, but what are your thoughts on adjusting that daily intake for the amount of activity done in a day? For example, a bigger day at the gym, or days with general more steps/movement/cardio.
