Food Data Question

[Guest guest]

Hello all. I know this has been discussed before but I am having a

hard time getting answers with an archive search. Sorry! I am

trying to get creative with some new foods that are not on the

database but I am having a hard time getting exact numbers. Do you

guys just use the rounded-off label numbers? For example, I have

Dannon Natural Plain Yogurt. I called the toll free info line and

they said all they have are the rounded-off numbers on the label.

Grrr. I checked them against the " plain yogurt " numbers that are on

the keto meal planner and they are WAY OFF. What to do? I was

hoping to try making some flavored yogurts for Langan and,

eventually, venture into trying to make the lactose free yogurt.

Help!!

PS On another note, can too little fluids cause seizures? Langan

has been doing great and managed to get through a few days of the

plague and 102 temp with no seizures. She started feeling better-

although a little sniffly- this weekend but has not been drinking

nearly as much as she had. Then BAM a seizure today. Ketones

looked relatively high and the only thing I can think of is

hydration. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

, mom to Langan, 18 months old and keto kid since 11/03

Hi

All the information on the labels are AVERAGES. In other words: you can’t be

sure that the values on the labels are exact what is in the product.

When you call an information number, you might get a more precise number,

however, it is still an average and isn’t necessarily correct.

The information you get from the labels or information number is for a

particular product of a particular manufacturer and is reasonable close to the

mark.

The information you get from generic list is in my opinion of no value what so

ever.

For example the fat content of cheese has an enormous range, just stating the

fat content of cheese is of no use. Even the fat content in cream varies from

brand to brand.

I stick to the labels, it is as close as you can get.
