Keto: net carbs 9g

If you are following a ketogenic diet (keto), you need to restrict your daily carbohydrate intake so that your body enters ketosis.

For most people, this means less than 50 net carbs per day.

Net carbs are calculated by subtracting fiber from total carbs.

Example:
A product with 26 grams of total carbohydrates and 9 grams of fiber will have 17 grams net carbs. Math equation: 26 - 9 = 17

IMPORTANT: Net carbs are per serving. Make sure you know your serving size or else you may go over your planned intake and exit ketosis.
1.5 tsp of added sugars per serving

Added sugars are sugars and syrups that are added to foods or beverages as part of their preparation. They do not include naturally occurring sugars found in milk and fruits. Table sugar and high fructose corn syrup are examples of added sugars.

Honey and maple syrup are also "added sugars" when added to food products. Per the FDA, they are not considered added sugars when sold as single ingredient products. However, at Fooducate we still consider them added sugars because they are basically the same as table sugar in terms of nutrition.

The American Heart Association recommends limiting the amount of added sugars you consume to no more than half of your daily discretionary calories allowance.

For women: 100 calories (25 grams, 6 tsp per day)
For men: 150 calories (37 grams, 9 tsp per day)

The FDA is more "generous", the Daily Value for added sugars is 200 calories (50 grams, 12 tsp per day).

Here at Fooducate, we suggest sticking to the stricter option (only 25 grams per day for women, 37 grams for men).
Could You Halve Your Added Sugar Intake?
For dieters: FoodPoints value is 5

* FoodPoints are calculated by Fooducate based on fats, carbs, fiber, and protein. They are not an endorsement or approval of the product or its manufacturer.
The fewer points - the better.
Puffed up with protein?

Protein is important, but some of the protein you find in this product isn't exactly natural. The protein comes from one of the following sources:

- milk protein concentrate
- whey protein isolate
- soy protein isolate

While it's fine to get some of your protein from supplemented items, keep in mind that they are not "natural" sources and that it's not ideal to get protein only from processed goods.

If you're looking for more protein, try beans, quinoa, nuts, seeds, peas and spinach & leafy greens. Not only do they have protein, they're filled with other vitamins and minerals.
Multiple sugar ingredients listed

Many times, manufacturers add several different types of sugar in order to make the sugar appear lower in the ingredient list.
