  1. Can someone explain why the total weight of 100 grams of turkey
    breast, for instance, doesn't even come close to matching the three
    macronutrients in that food. 100 grams of turkey breast contains
    30.06 grams of protein, .74 grams of fat and no carbohydrates. It has
    no fiber. I can't imagine that the difference in weight could consist
    of water! The micronutrients don't add up to but a few grams, if
    that. What accounts for this difference in weight?
