Any idea how many calories/ sat fats are in this barley water?

Asked by nebule (16457points) March 2nd, 2010

I’m cooking 50g of barley in water for one hour and I’m going to then throw the barley away. I want to know the calories of the water.

On the packet it says 100g as sold = 385 kcal and 0.3 sat fat
which equates to 50g as = 192.5kcal and 0.15 sat fat

then it says 50g boiled = 195kcal and 0.2 saturated fat
so it actually gains calories and sat fat… is this right??? :-/

Furthermore…can I conclude from this that there are no calories or sat fat in the water (which I want to drink…) or what??? It really doesn’t make sense to me… Obviously there must be something in the water because of the cloudiness and transference of…something? surely?
