[B][COLOR=DarkOrange][FONT=Times New Roman]How do I find carbs listed from ingredients on a bottle of sauce? I've done searchs but no luck, thanks anyone...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I take it the bottle doesnt list nutritional info?

you cant actually get a carb count from the ingredients since you dont know the quantity used.

In these cases you have a couple of options.

Option A - Just dont eat it

Option B - Look at the ingredients and determine if its 'safe' does it have sugar, corn syrup, flour etc? and then based on the type of sauce and ingredients estimate a carb count and maybe also look for a different brand of similar sauce and see if you can get a carb count on that and use that as a base to start with.


What type of sauce is it anyway?

Sugars -- Honey, Sugar, Brown Sugar, Invert Sugar, Sucrose, Florida Crystals, Dextrose, Mannose, Maltose, Glucose, Sorbose, Xylose, Fruit Juice Concentrate, Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup Solids, High-Fructose Corn Syrup, Brown Rice Syrup, Caramel, Maltodextrin, Lactose, Galactose...Plus, anything ending in -ose, OTHER THAN Cellulose, Polydextrose, Oligofructose, and Sucralose.

High Starch Ingredients -- Enriched Wheat Flour, Wheat Flour, Barley, Rice Flour, Rice, Corn, Cornmeal, Degerminated Cornmeal, Whole Wheat Flour, Potato Starch, Tapioca, Oats, Oat Flour, Oat Bran, Potatoes, Cornstarch...Plus anything containing the word "starch" OTHER THAN Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate [which is a Sugar Alcohol.]

High Fiber Ingredients -- Cellulose, Polydextrose, Xanathan Gum, Guar Gum, Psyllium Husks, Pectin, Oligofructose (FOS,) Inulin, Oat Fiber, Wheat Bran...Don't rely on the word "Bran" to indicate High Fiber/Low Starch, because Oat Bran is mostly starch, not fiber.

Trans-Fats -- (Partially) Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, Vegetable Shortening, Margarine, (Partially) Hydrogenated __________ Oil, Hydrogenated Lard...

Sugar Alcohols -- Maltitol, Maltitol Syrup, Xylitol, Erythritol, Sorbitol, Mannitol, Hydrogenated Glucose Syrup, Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate, Lactitol, Isomalt...

Specialty "Carbs" --

D-Tagatose or Tagatose: Technically a Sugar, but only partially absorbed...Claims to have to have little to no negative effect on Blood Sugar. The part which is absorbed is burned before fat and though I have not heard anyone say it stalled them [yet,] it could lead to stalling if overconsumed.

Glycerine: Listed as a Carb, but technically an Alcohol. Has 4-5 kcal/g, and is absorbed, but has very little negative effect on Blood Sugar [for most folks.] Is burned before fat and thus stalls some folks.

Thanks for your help everyone.....muchly appreciated. *S*
