Confused about the nutritional value labels?

[SM1997]

So I’m starting a keto diet soon and I’m planning to use coconut flour for most of my recipes but this following thing seriously confuses me. In my local shop, there are three different brands of coconut flour but all of them show different amount of carbs for 100 grams. One says it has 22 grams of carbs for 100, one says it has 16 and the other one says it only has 7. My question is, can I trust the one that says it only has 7 grams of carbs for 100 grams of coconut flour or it has more than that but only says 7 for whatever reason?

Why are you starting keto?

Also, truthfully, there is no way any of us can know if you can really trust something or not. Feel free to try it and see if it works out well for you.

How do you expect anyone to accurately answer that?

nutritional labels are allowed to be off by 20% or something,only way to truely know is trial and error,so try it if it works then it works,if it doesn't then switch up.
and there are no added benefits of keto diet over any other diet provided total calories are same if you just want to loose weight,even then a high protein diet is only objectively better diet.

I would buy the 4th option as that one is guaranteed to be even lower.

I’ve been eating a lot of grape tomatoes, on serving size it says “about 10 tomatoes” so instead of scaling it I just Based it off 10 because I figured that seemed right and laziness kicked in. 3 days later I scaled it out.... 20 tomatoes was 3oz which was the serving size. It was underestimated by 50%. Smh, always scale.

[alexudanis]

Yeah, a scale is pretty important. I can never seem to judge them appropriately. What scale are you using?

[JimmyTheL]

What's the rest 93g according to the label?

[SM1997]

Accurately answer what? I only asked if the nutritional value showed on the labels can be trusted or not, nothing accurate needed here.

Unfortunately I’m pre diabetic which means that a normal calorie deficit doesn’t work for me at all

I found the answer now, it’s all about the flour being defatted or not. The defatted one has less fats so it has a bit more of carbs for 100 grams of flour while the non-defatted one has less fats for 100 grams of flour which gives more room to carbs
