2 Big 2 Fail's Journal, 19 February 2014

Goofy package sizes. If I buy products from vending machines at work I don't usually see a match with the sizes on FS. They do downsize considerably.

For example...Jack Link's Original Beef Steak serving sizes from the snack machines is 42% the size listed of FS. You have use the calculation of 42% of what's listed to the the 50 calories listed. You have to be a scientist to get the calorie count to match what's listed here. It's rather strange.

Also; the government has made the manufacturer put these labels on food and the serving sizes and all are all over the place. Since when is a bottle of Gatorade G2 two and a half servings. If I have a bottle and I'm working out...gulp (50 calories) which is 20 calories per serving and 2.5 per bottle thus 50 calories. But the label says 45 calories per bottle. Where on earth did the last 5 calories go...evaporate when you open the bottle? Maybe I'm over thinking it!

No,you're not the only one. I've been adding stuff right off the label, so I know EXACTLY what I'm eating. Not always a time saver, and sometimes I have to bring cut off labels so I can add everything when i get to my office. And Gatorade, I dont drink, so I really dont know where those 5 cals go!!!
