sunflower seeds count
What is the carb count for sunflower seeds in the shell? How many can I have? I am going camping and really need to know because this is a low-carb snack I could enjoy instead of junkfood!

sunflower seeds
:wave: Hi Lorianne,
try going to www.fitday.com they give different counts, but I think they are "hulled"...you might see what they have to say. |
According to NFA "Nutrtional Values of Australian foods" Sunflower seeds Have 2.2g ECC per 100g Yay! I love them.. :D
|
Jezebel.......
Is there a tool to calculate how much 100g is compared to the cup version? Do you eat the ones NOT in the shell? |
Unfortunately I don't know if there are any tools to do such a calculation.... I use my"Nutritional values of australian foods" book, which lists all foods as 100g protions, this suits me well beacuse I am never sure exactly what a "medium cumber"(for instance) actually is.....I find working with weight much easier. Oh yeah.. I eat the sunflower seeds without the shells!

Such a tool does exist. It is called a scale. :) Of course, you need a scale that is small enough but you could fill a measuring cup then weigh it to find out how many grams a cup of sunflower seeds weighs (be sure to subtract the weight of the cup). Then do the appropriate calculations to determine how much 100g of sunflower seeds are.. |
According to Corinne Netzer's Food Count Book, 1 cup of sunflower seeds in the shell are:
Calories: 180 Protein: 8 g Fat: 15 g Carbohydrates: 6 g You really need a food count book. :) I did a LOT of research before buying Netzer's. It is GREAT. I got mine online at www.half.com...a GREAT source for used but in like new condition books for half or less than half price. Paris:D |
