Living in England sucks for ECC counts....

Loads of food labels have fibre pre-subtracted from carbs but some don't. Normally you can spot thm easily because the sugar plus the fibre usually equals more than the total carbs, therefore it must be pre-subtracted.

However...

Sometimes the sugar plus fibre doesn't equal more than the carbs and then i'm not sure what to do.

I looked at this label for some Humous and i'm not sure what the ECC is.

Can a kindly veteran label-reader take a look (below) and tell me the ECC (bear in mind that here in the UK a lot of labels are pre-subtracted)

Nutritional Information
Per 100g
Energy Kjoules 1225
Energy Kcals 296
Protein 7.80
Carbohydrate 7.90
Total Sugar 0.70
Total Fat 25.90
Saturated Fat 2.70
Monounsaturated Fat 14.30
Polyunsaturated Fat 8.90
Fibre 3.30
Sodium 500mg

Thanks in advance

Thanks.

That was my guess too, but i'd rather not have to guess. I try to be careful not to go over 20 carbs and i want to be sure.

Is there any sure way to know which type of label this is?

I put this through the Hidden Carb Inspector under Low Carb Tools at the top of the page and it appears that the fiber has been pre-subtracted.

So the count is actually a little over 7.9 grams.

You can make your own hummous using tofu. It's actually not bad!

Cheers once again Karen.

Should have used the Hidden Carb Counter in the first place.
