Where do the other grams go in nutrition labels

So I’m looking at nutrition labels and kinda get paranoid that I’m eating more calories than I think.

For example https://dempsters.ca/products/dempsters®-smart-supergrains-fibre-white-loaf

Look at this loaf of bread it says a serving size is 68g

Fats : 1.5 Carbs : 30 Protein : 6

For a total of 37.5g

Surely the rest can’t be water or something otherwise the bread would just fall apart. Now I know this label isn’t wrong. I’m just using this as an example as there are other food brands (much less popular) from corner unestablished stores I see with much bigger differences in the grams.

For example I went to this supermarket that had this huge piece of lavash bread. It said a serving of 145g was 340 calories.

It’s this one in fact http://halalgroceryau.com/brothers-lavash-bread/

I know you can’t see the label on it well so I’ll write out the macros

For 145g serving -

Protein : 10.3 Carbs : 65.8 Fat 2.8

Now I know most likely the bread is bigger than the 145g it claims for each serving but even with 1/4 of the bread cut off itd still be a huge piece of bread for 340 calories.

So my question is, is the label of the lavash bread correct?
