Food label vs Atkins and other carb counters

[foojoy]

Hi, I'm restarting Atkins today. I'm confused, do I or should I go by the food labels or the carb counters like Atkins, the USDA or there's one called calorie king. For example, when I use 2 tablespoons of heavy cream in my decaf tea the label says 1gr of carb per 1 tbsp. But on the Atkins sites and other sites recommended by Atkins the carb count for 1 tbsp is 0.4. Which should I follow?

Also, I have a question, how do I get a picture of my face?

Thank you.

Count it as 1g to be safe...that's what I always do...especially on induction when it is crucial to stay at 20 carbs or below.

As for the picture of your face...why silly, you just take one!

Seriously though, what you need to do is get an account at www.photobucket.com and upload your pics to the site. Copy the IMG code under the pic you want, and paste it in your reply or signature...if you want it as your avatar, copy the URL code and paste in the appropriate CP area.

us the food labe as it has to be checked by science and knows how many carbs are in it. they can round down from the next 0.49999 above it but never round up.
