US: Calories = ([Carbs (Total carbs - insoluble fiber) + Protein] * 4 Cal/g) + (Fat * 9 Cal/g). Soluble fiber is included in Total Carbs, but calorie contribution is calculated at 2 Cal/g. In the US, food manufacturers have the option to exclude the amount of Insoluble Fiber from the calorie calculation.
EU: Calories = ([Carbs (sugars + starch ) + Protein] * 4 Cal/g) + (Fat * 9 Cal/g) + (All dietary fiber * 2 Cal/g). In Europe, fiber is listed separately and is not included in the carb content. Other calorie conversion factors exist, none of which is relevant to this product.
