what kinda carbs...
Sonya,
I've read in the "Atkins NEW Diet Revolution" about both types of carbs you're referring to. From what I understand, you pick a food - lets say "apple". It's got 21 carbs, yet 7.3 are "digestable/usable" carbs. This means when you eat that apple, most of it is (ahem) passed on. Whereas the 7.3 carb value is used by your body and therefore counts against you (or towards your daily carb intake).
Hope this helps!
