Question Help with carb count on TOFU??

I bought some banyan foods firm tofu. It says 0 carbs, but everywhere I read says that the TOFU should have some net carbs.

Any Ideas?

Different brands have different amounts of carbs. My box says 1 carb per serving and less than a gram of fiber. I assume that yours has SOME carb but enough fiber to put it to 0.something making it less than a carb and an amount that they don't legally have to list. I would just count it as 1 carb a serving myself just to be on the safe side but then again I aways round my numbers up when it comes to doing that.

is it nitoyen? that's what i use-- the lite firm kind....i always counted it as zero carbs or maybe 1 carb for the entire package. Other tofus, esp flavored, and full-fat tend to have more carbs
