I may have answered my own question.

On the USDA site it states the following:

STRAWBERRIES,RAW
100 grams

KCAL 30
PROTEIN (GRAMS) 0.6
FAT (GRAMS) 0.4
CARBOHYDRATE, BY DIFF. (GRAMS) 7
TOTAL DIETARY FIBER (GRAMS) 2.3

Look at it again, see how it says "Carbohydrate, by diff." Does this mean the difference after the fiber content of the food? Hmmm, good question.

If so, then you ARE absolutely correct w/ 140 grams equaling 1 carb block of strawberries!


Got me hun. I've never seen that phrase before.
I'm not near as analylitical as you (makes my brain hurt). I just go by package labeling. In the case of strawberries, I buy them frozen most of the year, except for right now. They're ready for pickin', so I'm headed out in the A.M. My freezer will be LOADED for the next several months!
