please help me understand these nutritional facts

[ironman5151]

First I would like to thank the people on the board for recommending the Zero impact protein meal bar. Its really really good (not like a snickers but for a protein bar)...

Ok, tell me if i'm understaning this right:

Total fat 21g
Satrurated fat 5g
trans fat 0g

Do this mean that 19g (21-5=19) of fat are healthy fats (poly, mono, etc.)?

also

Total Carbs 42g
Dietary Fiber 4g
Sugars 7g

This mean that 35g (42-7=35) of the carbs are complex carbs?

thanks...hope this isn't too dumb a questions...just making sure i'm understanding what i'm eating...

Thanks for any info!

21-5=16

Yes 16g of either mono or polyinsaturated fats. Too much poly's in the form of om6's is not so healthy btw. Ideally it should contains much more mono, like 60-70% of the total fat intake.

also

Total Carbs 42g
Dietary Fiber 4g
Sugars 7g

This mean that 35g (42-7=35) of the carbs are complex carbs?

It should be.

Unless they count the fibers as a carb source, which in this case would give you 31g of complex carbs. But I don't think it's the case.

They are not too slimming... You are right! But god they are good! I used to work for VPX and when the bars came off the line still hot.. Holy shit they were good! Now I have to heat them in the microwave to get the flashbacks.
