Before I start, I want to let you know I KNOW this has been discussed, and I've searched using whip and cream and carb. What I found was interesting but doesn't answer my question. I've been searching for over an hour between here and fitday, so I have tried to figure this out, and have come away more confused than ever.
Santa brought a make your own cream whipper with the compressed gas cartridges. I'm wondering now if this was a good thing to ask for. I'm dieing to try it, but can't figure out what the carb count would be for a "blob" of a couple of tablespoons of the stuff that comes out nice and fluffy.
The real liquid whipping cream I have is Neilson 35% whipping cream at .5 carbs per 15 ml or 1 tablespoon in the fluid form
Whipped up, 1 tablespoon is less dense than 1 fluid tablespoon, so would have fewer carbs.
At Fitday, the carb count for 1 cup of whipped up cream, with no sweetner added is 6.64 carbs. 1 cup is 16 tablespoons, so a tablespoon of the whipped up stuff would be .415 carbs
So the Fitday whipped up carb count is almost as much as my brand
before it is whipped, for 1 tablespoon. Would that be a reasonable carb number to use?
We're talking about a small amount of carbs here, What looks like it may be about 1 carb for a nice blob of it on my berries.
I just want to make sure that I'm not UNDERCALCULATING
I don't plan on having whipped cream often, but when I make up a batch in the cream whipper, I'll need to use it up within 2 weeks, so I'll be eating it until it is gone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Some days this is so confusing!
