Need clarification on hidden carbs
I love this forum and have learned so much in just one short day!
I am really still not clear on how to get an accurate carb count on some products.
Example:
Jimmy Dean Hickory Sausage
Label = Calories 240, Fat 21, Protein 9, Carbs 0
My calculations = 3.75 Carbs
Hidden carbs calculator= 3.19 Carbs
On the other hand...
Rudy Farm Country Sausage
Label = Calories 210, Fat 21, Protein 9, Carbs 1
My calculations = (3.75) Carbs
Hidden carbs calculator = (5.60) Carbs
How do you handle these situations?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I am so confused about Splenda. The package says 0 Calories and less than 1 Carb. Most of the products I have purchased containing Splenda show 0 Carbs on the label?
