Hi Meme,

Australian foods vary on whether or not fibre has been subtracted.

The Country Life Alpha Life bread has not had the fibre (1.9) subtracted from the total carb count (7).
The only way to know whether or not the fibre has been subtracted is to do the little sum. You just have to work it out from the nutrition panel. Carbs and protein have 4 cals/g, fat has 9 cals/g.
Adding the cals assuming fibre has been subtracted comes to a total of 60.3 cals - each slice only has 52 (it's actually 52.7 if you work it out).

So, I repeat, each slice of bread has 5.1g useable carbs.
