Why are these macros so far off from the calorie count?

Using [https://fairlife.com/light-ice-cream/vanilla-ice-cream/](https://fairlife.com/light-ice-cream/vanilla-ice-cream/) as an example: (image: [https://imgur.com/a/ZySVC4x](https://imgur.com/a/ZySVC4x)) 7g fat = 63 calories 22g carbs - 0g fiber = 88 calories 9g protein = 36 calories Total: 187 calories, and it lists 150  And should I base my food intake on the listed macros, or the calories?

Answer

EPG is not responsible for the difference between calorie count and macros in this case as it’s not listed in the product ingredients. The reason is most likely due to allulose, which contributes to the total carb content but is 0.4kcal/g.

Answer

IIRC some brands of lower calorie ice cream use a different kind of fat that is not 9 cal/gram. Nicks ice cream does this.

Here you go

It is a type of synthetic fat that was pretty recently developed. It’s also the reason why a lot of light ice creams are really expensive
