Need 2nd opinion about FDA Reference Values

[Guest guest]

Reference Values for Nutrition Labeling

http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/flg-7a.html

Based on a 2000 Calorie Intake

Total Fat grams (g) 65

Total carbohydrate grams (g) 300

Fiber grams (g) 25

Protein grams (g) 50

==

By my calculation, the FDA reference values only add up to 1885

Calories. Here is how I figure:

Fat Calories = 9x65 = 586

Carb Calories = 4x(total carbs - fiber) = 4x(300 -25) = 1100

Protein Calories = 4x50 = 200

Total = 1885 Calories

It seems to me that if the FDA diet is 15%P, 30%F, 55%C with 25g of

fiber, the number of grams for 2000 Calories should be P=75 g, F=66 g,

Tot Carb = 300 g.

Does anybody know why the official Reference values don't add up to

2000?
