| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the flexible dieting lifestyle podcast. I'm your host, Zach Rush Lowe. I'm with my co-host, Miguel |
| 0:20.4 | Blakut. In today's episode is your host, Zach Rushlow. I'm with my co-host, Miguel Blakut. |
| 0:21.0 | In today's episode is a very, very fascinating one. It is super close to my heart because when |
| 0:27.4 | creating protein cookie butter, my first ever physical product that is now going to lead into |
| 0:32.5 | more physical products in the future, we ran into an obligation you have when you create a food product. You have |
| 0:39.9 | to create a food label. And you have to understand a document made by the FDA, and it is their |
| 0:46.9 | rounding rules regulations. And that means there are some ways you can finagle your food label to make it look better or worse |
| 0:57.1 | than it really is. And in today's episode, we're going to walk you guys through. So to be |
| 1:02.6 | honest, this is a 132 page document that we're going to go through. I'm not going to go through |
| 1:08.8 | it, but give you guys the main points of how to understand |
| 1:12.5 | a food label, how to understand that it is inaccurate, but you can be accurately inaccurate. |
| 1:19.1 | And just give you guys more education on how to understand when your macros don't add up to |
| 1:27.2 | the calories. Because that's something I talk about |
| 1:29.9 | a lot. And me and Miguel talk about a lot. And we talked about in season one is when macros should act |
| 1:35.2 | up to the calories. But there are some confounding variables that make that not happen when looking |
| 1:41.5 | at the food labels. So I'm super excited for today's |
| 1:44.5 | episode. But before we begin, please take a screenshot, post it up on your Instagram story, |
