Question re Hidden Carb Inspector
Hi, Wa'il! I was just reading a thread on the La Tiara taco shells and am thoroughly confused about the Hidden Carb Inspector again (just when I thought I understood it!).
These are the results from the HCI: Hidden Carbs Calculator Stated Label Information Calories 37 Fat 2.3 g Protein 0.4 g Carbohydrates 4 g Subtracted Fiber? No 3 g Calculation Accuracy: Cereals, Grains and Pastas (corn) Calculated Information Carbohydrates factor 3.99390 Fat factor 8.37338 Protein factor 3.54117 Actual Carb count 4.09 g Difference by weight 0.09 g My previous understanding of these results was that, indeed, the product's listed total carb count was correct and that the net carbs would therefore be 4 minus 3 or 1 net carb per taco shell.. From all reports I have seen on the net, these shells are VERY thin and have been around for a long time, ie not a product aimed at low carbers. However, in the thread, IslandGirl posted the following entry. My question for you is... does the "Actual Carb Count" of 4.09 grams calculated by the Hidden Carb Inspector equal the NET carbs for the product or the TOTAL carbs (from which we can then deduct the fiber)? Just seeking verification, since I am such a numbers geek!. Thanks very much! Quote:
Just found another site to check the info and it says the ECC is 1 - the site is here: http://www.nocarbzone.com/html/hidden_carb2.html. Hoping you can clarify this for me (and perhaps the original poster and readers of the thread: http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthread.php?t=95824). Thanks, Wa'il ! |
For the calculator on our site, we don't calculate ECC. It just figures out the actual carb count.
So according to the result you posted from our calculator, it means the ECC = 4.09 - 3 = 1.09 It also says the difference between it and the label is 0.09, which essentially mean the label is quite accurate, and has no hidden carbs. Which mean your understanding is correct :) Wa'il |
Yay!! Thanks, Wa'il!
