Reading Carbs on Food Labels
I Suppose this is an old question about reading food labels:
How does one count actual carbs (that contribute to blood sugar)
from a food label?
Example: Atkins Advantage almond brownie bar:
Totals: Fat=8g, Protein=21g, Carbs 21g ( Fiber 7g, Sugars 0g ).
As Atkins states : Count only 2 g,
I assume Hidden Carbs = (21-2)=19g...
Is that correct? I was GIVEN the hidden carbs
but don't know how to count using only the label info...
Counting Hidden Carbs as
Total-Fiber = (21-7)=14g does not work. So either I
DON't know how to compute from the given OR
the label is HIDING the actual numbers?
I need some wisdom from those veterans out there...
