Overview
A clear explanation of the value and what it means.
Calculated metrics normalize price, weight, calories, protein and baskets for comparison. They are not market claims or recommendations.
How it is calculated
The formula or method behind the calculation.
A table may include the price per base unit, costs per 100 g or 100 ml, per 100 kcal and per 10 g of protein, and a basket total.
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 food price page can show costs per 100 g, per 100 kcal and per 10 g of protein when the required inputs are available.
| Example | kcal | Protein | Fat | Carbs | 100 g | 100 kcal | 10 g protein |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chicken breast | 120,0 kcal | 22,5 g | 2,6 g | 0,0 g | no data | no data | no data |
