Default Microwave Popcorn Label?

Can anyone interpret this microwave popcorn label for me?

Serving size 3T unpopped (makes 5 1/2 cups popped)
Servings per bag 1

Total carbs 20g 3T unpopped 7% 1 bag 6% 1 cup 1%
Dietary fiber 3g 3T unpopped 13% 1 bag 11% 1 cup 2%
Protein 3g

What do the percentages mean? And if a serving size is 3T unpopped and there's 1 serving per bag, how can there be different numbers for each? And I can subtract the fiber for net carbs, right? And why aren't there percentages for the protein?

Thanks for the help.

I wonder if they are averaging for the kernels that do not pop. So if they put in 3T - on average only 2 1/2T pop

And I bet the percentages are based on the goverment recommended amounts of Carbs/Protein/Fat
