I'd think Miracle Whip would have loads more fat and sodium. In any
case, it's not that.

Miracle Whip Lite, he meant. But you are right about the sodium. Half its
calories from fat sounds like a lot to us. Some kind of unsalted spread?

The numbers in resp:489 don't add up right.
- 1.5 gm fat = 13.5 calories (not 10 as stated on the label)
- 3 gm carb = 12.0 calories
- 1 gm protein = 4.0 calories
for a total of 29.5 calories, not 20.

Labels are often wrong. A 2-pound container of feta cheese says servings are
1 oz and there are 500 servings. A package of bamboo shoots claims to have
0 g fiber. The people who make the rules about labels must not read them very
closely, or else only read the fat and cholesterol info, currently in fashion.

Neither Miracle Whip Lite nor any unsalted spread.
I checked the numbers in #489 against the label - they're "right". My
guess is that 1.5 g fat means 1.5 +/-.25 g fat, etc. and they don't
count the calories in the fiber.

Also, 10 cal means 1O +/- 5 cal. And I'm pretty sure you're right about the
fiber calories being defined as 0.
Hmmm... no salt or sugar at all. It must not be American. :-)

1 T of peanut butter has far more grams of 'most everything....especially
fat (though much less of it is saturated).

(the serving size suggests something like a condiment or a mix orf
some sort. the lack of sugar is definitely confusing, even though it
*should* help to narrow it down. "half" the calories from fat suggests
... is it cocoa?)

Ghirardelli Premium Unsweetened Cocoa!

Sugar with some minerals added. Kool-Aid? Tang? Honey? Maple syrup?
Sorghum? (What would one do with a 'serving' of sorghum?).
40 g - about 1.5 ounces -1/4 cup, so it is not liquid, but a powder, cancel
the honey and sorghum.

Not Tang; not enough Vitamin C. But I don't have a food to post, so I'm not
going to guess. :/

(not Kool-Aid, not Tang, not honey, not maple syrup, not sorghum...
and not a powder. I am amazed, however, that you've guessed three
of the items I'd considered using.)

Sugar also weighs nearly 2 ounces/quarter cup, I guess. Sugar is not
considered a powder, unless it is powdered.

You mean not refined cane sugar. It has to be some type of sugar plus a few
minerals, according to the nutrition label. Candy is mostly sugar, so is
maple syrup (sugar plus water plus whatever minerals the tree needed).

(yes, it's sugar plus minerals, but that's misleading. no, it's not
molasses. yes, it's a common food.) ;)

remember it has fiber, but not a lot. No cholesterol, so it's a plant
product. A wee bit of salt, but lots of potassium. Hmm. Dried banana chips?
