Hidden Carbohydrate Counter - HELP!
Hi ya'all-
Here is my print out for La Tiara Taco Shells and MAN do I have a lot of questions that aren't obvious on their screen.
Hidden Carbs Calculator
Stated Label Information
Calculated Information
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Carbohydrates factor 3.99390
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fat factor 8.37338
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Protein factor 3.54117
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actual Carb count 3.84 g
Difference by weight -0.16 g
NOW, ON THE ACTUAL CARB COUNT....CAN IT BE ASSUMED THAT 2 GRAMS OF THAT ARE FIBER? HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO READ THAT?
WHEN I LOOK AT MY GUAR GUM (ALL FIBER) BOTTLE IT TELLS ME THAT 1/2 A TEASPOON HAS 5 CALORIES AND 1 GRAM OF CARB (IN THE FORM OF FIBER). IT THEN GOES ON TO SAY THAT YOU DON'T COUNT THE CALORIES BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT ABSORBED BY THE GUT. ME SO CONFUSED!
