    Nutrition labels bogus?!?!

    what are you thoughts on the Nutrition Labels? are they actually accurate?!

    i just bought me a small can of roast beef by hormel and its says 10oz can 54g protein

    and then i bought a can of chicken saying 8oz if 36g protein?!?!?! how is all this possible?!?! sometimes i looks at the labels of foods and im like "how can it be so much(protein,carb,fat) in this small serving be sooo high?"

    i mean, i know a big chicken breast of about 12oz is roughly 50g protein, but a small little chicken pouch of 5oz be 30?!?!?! that doesnt make sense!!

    so if i eat 2 pouches and a half (12oz) i would have consumed 75g protein as opposed to 12oz chicken breast with only 50g???

    what do u guys think about nutrition labels?!?!?

    most of these labeling follow a PRE-SET standards. It is not measured at the factory.
    a lean 2 oz of beef should yeild about 11-12 grams of protein so 8 oz should be about 48 grams.

    Chicken breast has higher protein than u said, a 12 oz chicken breast should yeild about 80 grams of protein not 50.
