Starkist Tuna Creations?? Help!

[Arielle]

I didn't have time to bring my lunch to work, so I bought a starkist brand, Tuna Creations...It's tuna, but with Herb and Garlic marinade. The pouch contains 2.5 servings, and it says carb 2g, and fiber 1g,and sugar 1g. Should I not eat this?

I have had those and I think they are fine. The sugar could be natural. In a pinch, they are much better than eating out. I think you're ok. :nod

That's a weird nutritional label...

Anyhow, I would eat it and count it as 2 net carbs. Next time, be sure to read the nutritional info and the ingredients.

thanks for the info.
Here's where I get confused figuring out the carb count... Under nutritional facts, the serving size is 2 oz. I was planning on eating the entire pouch for lunch, which says there are a total of 2.5 servings in the pouch. So, how does that equate for carbs? The nutritional facts says total carbohydrate 2 gram, Fiber 1 gram, and sugars 1 gram. What is carb amount per serving? and what is the carb amount for eating the pouch? Sorry, this stuff confuses me!

[Elizellen]

I would multiply the nutrition numbers by the number of servings - so that would be
2 total carbs -1 carb fibre=1 net carb per serving
1 net carb x 2.5 servings =2.5 net carbs per pack

Just remember for every fiber gram you can substract one carb gram from the total....like getting a free carb!!!
