1 more question- am I supposed to count the total carbs in foods or subtract the fiber?

Nancy,
Yes, the fiber is always subtracted from the carb count to give you the actual insulin producing carbohydrate.
FYI ~ Protein is not counted in plant based foods other than soy. For example: The protein in peanut butter is not counted. Peanut butter is counted as fat. Legumes are counted as carbs (substract the fiber) and do not count the protein.
