Need help deciphering foreign nutrition labels...
So, I love eating The Laughing Cow cheese. The problem I am having, though, is that I cannot figure out the nutritional facts for one freaking piece because the kind we get here in Kuwait is from France and I am math deficient! The name is La Vache qui rit.
If someone can figure out, I would GREATLY appreciate it!
Here's the breakdown as written EXACTLY on the package...
Whole pack (8 slices) = 120g
Nutrition Information per 100g
Energy value = 620kJ - 149kcal
Protein = 12g
Carbohydrate = 5g
Fat = 9g
Calcium = 600mg - 75%
Vitamin D = .75 (not sure of the measurement; looks like a weird m shape with a g) - 15%

I can't seem to make your information match up to the American versions.
No worry though.
If a whole pack at 120 g is 8 slices, then a slice weighs 15 grams.
Since 100 g is equivilant to 149 calories (kcal over the pond), that's the same as 1g = 1.49 calories. Multiply by 15 g a serving to get 22 calories.
Likewise for the rest:
Protein = 1.8 g
Carb = 0.75 g
Fat = 1.4 g
... these must be REALLY tiny slices of cheese.....

if it looks like this μg it is an "international unit"
