Overview
A clear explanation of the value and what it means.
A basket is a set of foods with quantities and city-based calculations. FATSLIM shows total cost, calories, protein, coverage and missing rows.
How it is calculated
The formula or method behind the calculation.
If a food has no price entry for the selected city, it is marked as missing. No price is invented.
FATSL leaves the result unavailable if an input is missing or a zero value would require division by zero.
Example
A worked example using a food in the FATSL reference guide.
A basic basket can include rice, bread, milk, eggs and other foods, with a quantity entered for each item.
| Example | kcal | Protein | Fat | Carbs | 100 g | 100 kcal | 10 g protein |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rice | 365,0 kcal | 7,1 g | 0,7 g | 80,0 g | no data | no data | no data |
