Okay, here's a question that I haven't seen before (although I haven't been around this site for very long)...I recently bought a bag of David roasted and salted pumpkin seeds - 1 bag is 1 serving, showing total carbs 6g. I was munching away (nice salty non-chip treat) and then I realized that I was eating the shell on the seeds as well as the kernal inside - ya know, like with a sunflower seed some people eat the whole thing and some meticulously remove kernals from shell.....? I actually prefer eating the whole thing as it's just too much work to remove each kernal - do you think there are carbs in the shells too? If so, any idea how many? The carb counter on this site lists a similar number of carbs as the package but I'm pretty sure that is also referring to the kernals only...hmmmm.....thanks for any input y'all might have.

I tried looking on fitday, but the information they have must be wrong. They list fiber for the hulled seeds but not for the whole seeds. I'm sure the hulls have lots of fiber.

Anyway, you'll eat less of them if you eat them with the hulls. And you won't need any Metamucil!

The hulls are fiber.

Fiber is a non-effective carbohydrate and isn't counted (and hasn't got calories either).

It's good for you, too.
