Default Hebrew National Franks

I know there've been numerous hot-dog threads, but let me ask this specific question:

Can anyone verify the carb content of a Hebrew National frank?

Package says 0, but web sites all list generic franks as having 1 gram.

It would make a big difference to a guy who eats 4 at a time for dinner while on induction....

Thanks.

If the package says 0 per serving it is probably close to >.9 a serving so count as 1 each to be safe. Nathans are one a dog too.

FYI - the knockwurst are 1 a serving and they are bigger....

Thanks, but I was hoping to find out authoritatively the value.

Knockwurst may in fact be a different recipe.

Do you know an authoritative source for this info?

Thanks for the link.

How odd, my package says 0 carbs, but the web site has an image of the package that shows 1 carb.

What more, the 1/4 lb franks weight 113 grams each and have 1 gram of carbs and the regular franks weigh 49 grams each and have 1 gram of carbs.

That's quite a bit of rounding off.
