And 4.2 of those grams of saturated fat. So the different types of fat I can talk about in another podcast, Carbohydrates 11.2. So that's not too bad either. 9.7 grams of sugar and then underneath that, sodium. So 86 milligrams. So, yeah, just in terms of your energy requirements throughout the day. And considering you might get if just say you're around average and you're taking in 2000 calories a day. And this is only 162 calories

So I just wanted to add that, like as a part of reading the label when you're looking at the energy, which is energy is measured in kilojoules or calories that is like, as everybody knows, food is one of the things that gives you energy, So it's basically a measure of how much you're getting out of each thing that you're eating So the amount of energy that the average person requires, just say around 2000 calories or 8000 kg that's the amount of energy that you need to eat to maintain the body and the weight that you have now to function So for people who are in a calorie deficit or a kilojoule deficit, that would be eating less kilojoules or less calories than that maintenance level is what you do when you want to lose weight or eating in a surplus So eating more calories or eating more kilojoules, then you burn Sorry, this isn't just like sedentary, there's so many factors to take into account here that your level of activity and everything So yeah, eating in a surplus is for people who want to or without even realizing it may be putting on weight, which may be a negative or a positive thing I'm not talking about body image and all that stuff here, just about the simple macros, yeah, that energy is made up of those three macronutrients So the protein, which is a must, and the fat and the carbohydrates So I basically try to look at it as making sure I have the protein that's not negotiable for me and then I can play with the carbs and the fats however I want and for me I like to have a little bit higher fat and a little bit lower carbohydrates than the standard model but that's just me, I feel better and I perform better when to do that So yeah, that was just a little bit more information about that Let me know if anybody has any questions, I'll try to answer them or refer you on to somebody who may be able to answer questions better
