The tacos look wonderful and I bet taste even better! I am sure they are low in carbs but I want to remind you all about hidden carbs and inaccurate carb counts. First, remember that even if the package says 0 carbs per seving that doesn't mean there are 0 carbs. It could mean that there are less than 1 carb (even .5 carbs adds up) . I don't believe there is such a thing as 0 carb cheese. You have to count it as 1 carb per ounce. The taco sauce is probably the same thing. Maybe less than one carb per serving (1-2 TBS but when you start using cups full, the carbs add up. (Like Splenda that says 0 carbs but is 24 carbs per cup!!) When using larger quantities of items I alway check FitDay for a closer estimate of the actual count. You can really throw off your carb count if you don't.
