HIDDEN CARBS EQUATION

(Carbohydrate grams x 4 calories) + (Protein grams x 4 calories) + (Fat grams x 9 calories) = Total Calories.

Example: Can of Beans shows 4 g carb (4x4=16) and 1 g protein (1x4=4). 16+4=20 calories per serving.


SWEETENER EQUIVALENTS: 2 t = 1 pkt = 1 carb

Sugar Packets Bulk Liquid
1/4 c 6 2 t 1 1/2 t
1/3 c 8 2 1/2 t 2t
1/2 c 12 4 t 1 T
1 c 24 8 t 2 T

MEASURING EQUIVALENTS
1 oz =  2 T = 1/8 c
2 oz =  4 T = 1/4 c
4 oz =  8 T = 1/2 c
8 oz = 16 T =    1 c
