Each cracker is 23 g. In Norway, the nutritional information is given per 100 g for all food (instead of per serving like in the US). Therefore, each cracker is 23\/100 of the nutritional information listed on the back. Assuming 1 tbl of butter and 1 tbl of jam on the cracker:<\/p>\n<p>1 Cracker: 2.8 g net carbs, 3.9 g protein, 6.7 g fat, 3.2 g fiber (ratio of 6.7 g \/(2.8 g + 3.9 g) = 1.0)<br \/>\n1 tbl butter: 11 g fat<br \/>\n1 tbl jam: 10 g net carb<\/p>\n<p>Total: 12.8 g net carbs, 3.9 g protein, 17.7 g fat, and 3.2 g fiber<br \/>\nRatio: 17.7 g \/ (12.8 g + 3.9 g) = 1.1<\/p>\n<p>Pretty reasonable ratio for Nora at this point. To crank up the ratio for a more full-keto approach, simply reduce the jam, or top the cracker with only cream cheese.<\/p>\n<p>As a point of interest, I also ran this calculation with a heavy fiber seed bread that is available here. I was curious to see if any kind of bread &#8212; even a very high fat and fiber type &#8212; can work. Running the same calculation as above (one slice of bread with 1 tbl jam and 1 tbl butter) yields a ratio of 0.75. A bit low. This leads me to conclude that you should likely assume not to use any bread on the keto or MAD diets, as a matter of course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maintaining Nora&#8217;s low carb diet in Norway has gone fairly smoothly, aided in part by shipments of Mission low carb tortillas in care packages from friends and family back home.
