aroy-d coconut milk is 400ml, but on the fucking nutrition data it says (1/2 cup, 90 grams) WHAT THE FUCK GRAMS WHEN U FUCKING MEASURE IT IN ML

anyways it says 90g/.5 cup = 170 cals

.5 cup = 125ml = 3.2 servings = 544 cals

I weighed the coconut milk in a saucepan, it's 400 fucking grams. 400/90 = 4.44 servings = 755 cals

fuck you china, seriously.

which ones would you guys go with?

if you weighed it at 400g and the container says 170 cals per 90g, then use that.

if that's the 400ml can, there are 4.5 servings in the whole thing, which is much closer to what you measured.

keep in mind most liquids you drink are around 1g/ml since they're mostly water.

this. water is 1g = 1ml at about 4 celcius. Above that or below that and it's density goes down.

I'd guess milk has less density than water considering the fat that is in it but that may be wrong given some of the other things in milk. truthfully I don't know.

I would assume regardless of the density of milk, it's going to probably going to be inconsequential anyway. It will be close to 1/1 with water, and who knows, maybe they just go off the 1g/1ml anyways as an assumed conversion.

That said I find it hard to believe the density would be 90g/125ml

That's a density of .72

considering you weighed it at 400g and it's supposed to be 400ml. The nutrition label is all kinds of fucked up.

I feel your pain, I notice these sorts of inconsistencies on nutrition labels from time to time and it makes me want to rage
