Question

u.s/canada difference in carb listing

Just wondering if there is a difference in the way Canadians list carbs. I copied one of Karen's recipes which is listed as low carb. The nutrition guide at the end says over 100 gr--that doesn't seem like it could be low carb (my [American] frosted mini wheats--not low carb--only have 40 something per serving). Can someone help with this?

hi there,

Which recipe are you referring to?

It's possible that 100g is the total carbs for whole recipe. Karen lists (total carbs then the total carbs minus fiber) for the whole recipe first, then immediately lists the counts per serving below that.
