So, I've got a package of turkey franks that I'm nuking for a snack, and, as is my wont, I peruse the nutritional info.
Serving size: 34 grams (one hotdog)
Fat: 5 grams
Protein: 4 grams
Carbohydrate: 0 grams
Fiber: 0 grams
So, I'm left to wonder... what the fuck are the other 25 grams? It can't all be water...

hmmmmm
fat = 9 calories per gram.. so there are 45 calories of fat in it
protein = 4 calories per gram.. so there are 16 calories of protein in it
carb = 4 calories per gram.. so theoretically "0" calories of carb in it (I suspect this to be untrue)
SO.... by the info you have provided, there should only be 61 cal per hot dog.... if there are more calories than this listed, then start dividing shit and find out what went wrong.
ALSO I regularly find typos, misprints and shit that just doesn't add up on nutrition labels. I weigh foods and generally am borderline obsessive-compulsive about this, but hey, that's why there's this whole visible abs thing going on so who's to judge?
