Do food companies take food's thermic effect into account when calculating caloric values?

Wat?
Do you know what a fucking calorimeter is?
How would a mechanical apparatus simulate the metabolic processes of the human digestive system?

Yes, they know you're a flaming faggot

No, the usual rule is 10-15% for fats and carbs(not including fibre) and 25-30% for protein. Fibre is like 55% or something

No, the calories listed on food labels do not include thermic effect of food since this is considered calorie expenditure. Since carbs and fat are only marginally different (carbs 4-6%, fat 1-3%), protein content of the diet is the major determinant of TEF. Since protein content does not vary much in the general population (15-20%), TEF is not very relevant for most people
