Like, isn’t macronutrients the only thing responsible for energy intake? So…
How can a label show 50 calories for a serving worth 10g of carbs?
Wouldn’t 10g of carbs equates to 40 calories?…
Even when considering the other macros into count it’s still slightly off by like 1-30kcal every time. How can this be a thing?…
And how to calculate macros by % of total calories when total calories are always higher than macros calories? (Exemple: Myfitnesspal counting 100kcal worth of food, but when calculating macros alone it’s 89kcal [10g protein,10g carbs,1g fat].
Sorry if this sounds confusing, doing my best to explain this lol. Thanks in advance.

Is that food all carbs? Nutrition labeling guidelines have some quirks, like permitting listing zero below certain a threshold. There may be some amount of fat and/or protein per serving.
> 12. The total fat content for a serving of my product is 0.1 g. How should I declare fat and calories from fat?> > Answer: Because it is present at a level below 0.5 g, the level of fat is expressed as 0 g. Calories from fat would also be expressed as zero.
