When you read a food lable, take traditional rolled oats for example.
It says for a serving of 100g you get 380 calories, 56.7g of carbohyrates and 10 g of dietary fibre, 5 being insoluable and 5 being soluable.
Does this mean that because insoluable dietary fibre cant be absorbed by the body that you can take that 5 g of fibre and multiply it by 4, giving you 20, and then minusing that 20 from the total calories giving you 360 calories?
And does that also mean that you can take that 10? or only 5? grams of dietary fibre and that gives you 46.7g or 51.7g of carbohyrates?
I would just like to know thanx.
P.S. - Is soluable dietary fibre actually absorbed by the body? Is it a carbohydrate that is used by the body? Is it counted for as calories? Or can i minus that soluable firbre too?
