Arrow Nuts! and Seeds! Galore

In my store i have found walnuts and pumpkin seeds with sopposedly zero, yes, (0) carbs! The walnuts read 3 total carbs with 3 dietary fiber. The pumpkin seeds read 12 total carbohydrate with 12 dietary fiber. That means it has zero carbs right? Or is there a catch? please any info needed because i dont know if i should dig in cause i dont know if theres a catch or something.

You may want to run that through the hidden carb counter. Nuts & seeds aren't 0 carbs....just too good to be true. Believe me, many people have stalled over that very notion.

Hi~
It's amazing that the carb counts vary so much between different manufacturers. I was eating way too many macadamia nuts..........for the same reason.........fiber almost cancels out the carbs..........but alas.............a stall........for that and other reasons.

Giving all that up as of today.

Even in th lc world..........too good to be true usually is~

It is my understanding that the only food that has NO carbs is fresh meat that has not been processed or messed with in anyway. ALL other food has carbs somewhere! That is how we get caught up in the "hidden carbs" cycle. Good Luck to you! Cindi

Manufacturers are catching onto the fact that some people subtract fiber and are presubtracting the fiber for you, so the pumpkin seeds would really have 24 carbs, 12 of which are fiber, leaving the 12 stated on the lable.
