Default A splash of lemon

How bad is it? I usually put some lemon on my water, it tastes better and I can drink more of it this way. Even more now that is so cold, and I heat the water. I really could not stomach hot water alone! I noticed I easily consume the juice of two lemons in a day (small lemons). I could not calculate it through fit day, because it gives me the option of eating the whole fruit or adding a wedge, which is not the same (I squeeze the juice out of the lemon).
Anybody knows how many carbs I may be adding to my day?
Thanks!

Fitday says

Amount Per 1 Juice of 1 lemon (2-1/8" dia)
Total Carbohydrate 4.06g 1%
Dietary Fiber 0.188g 1%

so juice of 2 lemons potentially = about 7g of carbs!

The Fitday name is "Lemon juice, fresh"

Thanks, Doogie. It's a lot of carbs! No wonder I haven't lost any weight in the last three months. I just started fidgeting with Fitday today and realized I've been eating a lot more carbs than what I'd thought.

Fitday has that effect on people!
Especially when you REALLY start measuring your foods!
