Pumpkin Seeds
Yesterday, I was hungry, in a convenience store, and discovered David's roasted pumpkin seeds. According to the label on the bag, they only had a net carb count of 4g for the entire bag. Later, at the airport, I found a similar sized bag of Planter's pumkin seeds with a count of 14g for half the amount!
I looked them up on fitday and am just as confused. 1c of hulled seeds yeilds 30 total grams with 8.8 of fibre, but 1c of whole seeds yeilds 34 g and NO fibre. How does that compute? Isn't the shell pretty much all fibre?
So now I'm just trying to figure out if pumpkin seeds can be a part of my low-carb lifestyle on a regular basis or is it best to steer clear. Any insight would be appreciated.
