a question on carbs & fibre

hi all,

just a little confused about how you would calculate the carbs of something if the fibre is more.

for eg. almonds have 5g carbs, 9g fibre per 100g

so what is the effective carb count?

thanks alot for taking the time to answer,
cathie

Hi Cathie,

If the fibre count is higher than the total carb count, you can be 100% certain that the fibre carbs have already been subtracted.

So the effective carb count will be 5.

BTW, almost all Australian products have the fibre presubtracted.

Cheers, matey!

thanks roz

hey roz,

thanks for your quick reply, I actually got the figures from the dietclub database site you gave in the 'sticky tips' so I guess they have subtracted the fibre then.

cheers,
have a good one,
cathie
