Shouldn't have trusted the label...
Ugh. I just ate a ton of carbs. I bought some canned dolmas (stuffed grape leaves) from the store and ate a few for lunch. It says on the label that it only has 4g of carbs per serving and 2g of fiber so I ate up. I started thinking - hey, aren't dolmas stuffed with rice? Yep, they are. I did a nutrition search on dolmas online and they are closer to 20g per serving. Ouch! I should have been more careful and not trusted the foreign label (imported from Greece). At least they were good! I'll have to make sure I'm still in ketosis when I get home tonight. I've noticed other labels being incorrect, too. I get stuff from an Indian grocery store and their cans of prepared food from India are always suspect. I saw a can of lentels that claimed to only have 5g of carbs and 5g of fiber per serving. That seemed weird. I also saw a can of creamed spinach with 2g of carbs and 4g of fiber. Can't believe everything you read, I guess.
