The macro breakdown for the Flatout multi-grain wrap is 2.5g F, 17g C (8g fiber), and 9g P.

Now when you add that up in terms of calories it should be 68 cal from C, 36 cal from P, and 22.5 cal from F, which is 126 calories. The package claims 100 calories.

Now i know that 26 calories isn't a big deal, i guess my question is...are companies not required to count fiber as calories? If you took away the fiber's calories, it comes out to 94 calories, which is closer.
