I've been on a religious diet as of late. Eating no more than 80 carbs a day, and around 200 grams of protein a day. However, I recently noticed that half of the information I've been entering in fitday is BS. For instance, on the side of a tuna can, it basically says that one can has about 33 grams of protein, because a serving size is 2 oz, which has 13g, and there's 2.5 servings (drained). BUT, I weighed some cans of tuna (drained) and all I got was about 2.9 oz. and rarely did it go over 3 oz, for the entire can.
Which means for each can of tuna, you get snubbed out of over 10 g's of protein. If you eat two or three cans a day, it adds up. Also, each place has different facts on chicken breasts. For instance, fitday says 6 oz. of boneless, skinless chicken breast has 51g of protein. The label for tyson chicken breasts says 6 oz. only has 37g.
So what does one do? Eat more to make up for the lost protein? Take the labels word for it and stick to the facts? Help a brother out here, because I'm kinda confused. It's not really fun weighing everything you eat, right down to the ketchup, and to find out that even after all that weighing, you're still not getting the real facts, is even more annoying.
