Approx 7 calories per 65g
Edit: or 1 calorie per slice
No, it’s just lower than needs to be labeled for the serving size only. You ate 8 times the serving size.
Nothing is calorie free.
That sodium =/
That salt is going to make you retain water like crazy though. Keep in mind quality vs quantity.
I mean just go for cucumbers if you want to stay low on calories or soy beans.
I can see your question has already been answered, OP, but I just want to say that I love your energy in this post. Packaging lies but gherkins are forever.
If you calculate the carbs, fat and protein of anything you will get the true calorie count. Carbs have 4 calories per gram and so does protein. Fat has 5 calories per gram. It is amusing to me to calculate all processed food to see how much they are lying 😂
no thats of course bullshit. although they dont have much (15-30 kcal per 100 grams) of course they have calories
Calories or not, that amount of pickles will put you on the toilet. Been there done that! Lol
Low calorie, but a boatload of sodium. My app yelled at me for having 3 slices with lunch last week.
Per [the FDA](https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/cfrsearch.cfm?fr=101.60) (ctrl + f for “less than 5 calories”), anything listed as calorie-free just means that it’s less than 5 calories per serving, so companies use deceptive serving sizes so they can claim that title.
Pickles aren’t zero calories. How could they be?
