It would be 8.3gs of you had 100gs. Which (I think) means it's 8.3% fat and we can only have up to 5% fat. So no matter how many grams you have (I.e the 11g sachets) 8.3% of it will be fat.

ok just read back through the post and now i get it but that does seem a bit odd that i need to look at the whole 100gs if im only have 11gs of something.

sorry to cause drama x

 

[Holliekin]

Glad I helped. No drama you don't wanna be thinking your in the rules when your not x

Hi all A mug of boiled water weighs 200grams, so the drink in its intirity weighs 211g, so you are only consuming 0.9g fat in a drink that weights over 200g fat, so your within xenical rules

it would be true for any other food barr something you bulk up with water. ie soup or hot drinks etc

 

[Holliekin]

Surely that would mean that you could have any percent fat aslong as you had it with something very low in fat. Such as melting Chocolate into natural yoghurt?
I think it's a bit complicated for me lol so I'm gonna stick to just 5gs in every 100g for each thing lol.

Thats not right hun...

anything over 5gs of fat per 100gs is NOT in the rules. it doesnt matter if its food or drink,or if you only want a spoonful of it, if it is more than 5gs per 100gs then its out.

 

[frumpytosexy]

no input here as we all know im not one to obey xenical rules to the t! lol
but lmao @ celtgirls edit

I have hubby here who can explain things, so will get him to word it all.

Its all to do with %. We cant eat anything with more then 5% fat. The easiest way to work that out is by looking at the per 100g column. 5g of fat in 100g of product is 5%. So, say we have a product that has 4g fat per 100g, this is 4% fat and it within the rules. If a serving of that said product is 10g it will say it has 0.4g of fat in it, but this is still 4% fat. So if we have another product that says 9g of fat per 100g, this is 9% fat and for a 10g serving it will say 0.9g fat, but this is still 9% fat, so we can't eat it.
I know we talk about 5g per 100g, but this is just the easy way to work it out the %.

Unfortunately, adding water doesn't mean that we can have the product. The base of the drink is still out of our limits.

I hope that has helped clarify things and i really hope i haven't sounded patronising. It took a while to get my head round it until hubby explained it (can you tell he is a teacher? lol)

 

[gonnagetslim]

Lol thanks for that (well tell your hubby thanks ) makes more sense now!! ohhh I will miss a options hot choc for supper :sigh: never mind

That is so much clearer! I totally understand now! Thanks to your hubby x
