• Net carbs are total carbohydrate minus fiber: 82.4 g − 0.2 g = 82.2 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: Honey gives 0.1 g.
• Energy density is calories per gram. At 3.04 kcal/g, Honey is medium 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 Honey: what to know

Nearly all of honey is sugar, with 82.1 g of sugars in each 100 g. A tablespoon is 21 g and 64 kcal, and honey clings to the spoon, so a level spoon and a drizzle are not the same amount. Water accounts for 17.1 g per 100 g.
