Very confuzed about nutrition labels, please help!
I just dont understand, the nutrition you see on the label is for one serving, right? Then how come on, for example, the lettuce in a bag we get says serving size- 75 grams. Then on the label it says fat 0 carbs 4 protein 1. That adds up to five grams. Whats up with that? Is the other 70 grams in a serving all water or somthing?

Well it is based on density, like grams is based on how much it weighs so, I dunno, maybe it is water. I'd like to see what others say.

Sameesh...it's water and insoluble fiber; neither of which has any impact on our food intake.
