Question another question...

Hey ZC, thanks for the tip and glad to be back!

Here's another question to throw into the mix.

I looked up the strawberrie content on USDA site and gained the following info: (http://www.he.net/~zone/usda.html)

140 grams of Strawberries equals
9.8 grams of carbs minus the
Fiber content 3.22 grams

Which makes the true carb count 6.58 grams of carbs.

So shouldn't one block of carbs equal=
190 grams of Strawberries which equals
13.3 grams of carbs minus the
4.37 grams of Fiber

Which makes the true carb count of the berries 8.93 grams. Close enough to the 9 that we are trying for.

Sorry, don't mean to "challenge" you, but it's just so confusing if you do too much research like I do.

I have decided to stick w/ the USDA site for all my carb content food. If I follow my above rule of subtracting the fiber, will I be OK?
