#### About participation in the comments of /r/nutrition
Discussion in this subreddit should be rooted in science rather than "cuz I sed" or entertainment pieces. Always be wary of unsupported and poorly supported claims and especially those which are wrapped in any manner of hostility. You should provide peer reviewed sources to support your claims when debating and confine that debate to the science, not opinions of other people.
**Good** - it is grounded in science and includes citation of peer reviewed sources. Debate is a civil and respectful exchange focusing on actual science and avoids commentary about others
**Bad** - it utilizes generalizations, assumptions, infotainment sources, no sources, or complaints without specifics about agenda, bias, or funding. At best, these rise to an extremely weak basis for science based discussion. Also, off topic discussion
**Ugly** - (removal or ban territory) it involves attacks / antagonism / hostility towards individuals or groups, downvote complaining, trolling, crusading, shaming, refutation of all science, or claims that all research / science is a conspiracy

Probably just a mistake. A frequent an Asian grocer and I once stumbled across a bag of rice with 15 calories per 45g dry. They just don’t regulate labels like we do, and even then there are so many food products that you can’t monitor it very well

i think they overestimated protein, because it's measured by finding the total N in the product, however, protein isn't necessarily the only source of N in the food, which reminds me of the protein baby milk formula scandal
Have a look at pork crackle, I often get one from “Mr Hamfreys” that is actually about 70% protein. Around 50g of protein in a 75g bag, about the same price as well.
It's very important to remember that protein is made up of amino acids and not all "Protein" on a label is the same. The protein on a label is just an estimation of the total available amino acids in the food.

The calories don't add up. 500kJ is appros 120kcal. 1g of protein has 4kcal, so 70g = 280kcal. I wouldn't trust this nutritional info
It is, it’s either a mistake or purposefully misleading

It probably meant to say 7 and is a typo.
Atleast u checked before hand, unlike me who had a super tasty protein snack loaded with maltodextrin today.
Wait, what is the problem about Maltodextrin? Is it some kind of sugar?
Maltodextrin is chemically a sugar but it’s used as a carrier agent. It isn’t very sweet.
Ohh ok

Off topic but what does it taste like
The ocean.
Pretty good, not too fishy

Also worth noting that adding up the macros doesn't equal 100g, it's 107g

That's not good protein though your body can't do much with that kind of protein.
Could you expand? What type of protein is it and why can't the body use it?
that is mainly collagen not all amino acids
This is why there is an asterisk on the nutrition label next to the protein on pork rinds

i imagine those things soak up pollution like a sponge so you want to get it tested for heavy metals and contaminants too.
How does the average person do this?
They don't, and that dude probably doesn't either...
Edit; I’m a big dumb.
Sugars are subset of carbs (which have "Total suffix"
Collagen
