• Net carbs are total carbohydrate minus fiber: 33.1 g − 2.1 g = 31 g per 100 g. Low-carb plans usually count these.
• Protein per 100 kcal compares how much protein each food gives for the same calories: Garlic gives 4.3 g.
• Energy density is calories per gram. At 1.49 kcal/g, Garlic is low on the CDC's scale (very low below 0.6, low to 1.5, medium to 4, high above 4); lower-density foods give a larger portion for the same calories.

Logging Garlic: what to know

Garlic is dense, 149 kcal per 100 g, but a single clove is only 3 g and 4 kcal. That is why garlic is logged by the clove or the teaspoon, and almost never by the cup. The entry is raw garlic, and roasting it in oil adds the oil's calories to the total.
