What was said
"Food labels, which we like to think is being, you know, like, from upon high, can have up to a 20% error in them."
Dr. Lane Norton, a PhD scientist and nutrition expert, revealed on the Huberman Lab podcast that FDA-approved food labels can contain errors of up to 20% in their calorie counts. This challenges the precision many people assume when tracking calories for weight loss or muscle gain. Norton explained that despite this variability, consistent tracking can still be effective because the errors tend to be systematic rather than random.
