  1. I got a question. Since im trying to maintin my protein intake and im also consuming canned sardines, i am faced with a problem. Are protein and total protein different? Like as an example the serving size is 3, but it says the total protein is 17g. Does that mean that the whole can itself has 17g of protein or you multiply the total protein to the amoundt of serving size. Looking forward for your reply❤️

  2. I have a question, how to read the nutrition facts if it only provides the mass instead of percentage of the nutrient?

  3. hello osmosis or should i say "old friend" remember me? we did a bet when we were kids and you said you would pay me, pay me alright or else…😡
