This may not be the right place for my question but here goes...

April 15, 2007, 10:19 AM

I was shopping this AM and I am looking at lables, big time.
If something has 4 g carbs per serving and 2 g of fiber, am I looking at net carbs for Atkins, 2 g of carbs per serving?

If I'm making that complicated ( as I'm known to do that LOL)
IS this the Rule of thumb...?
carbs 4
-fiber 2
=l 2 carbs

You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometime, you might find, you get what you need.

Yes... you got it spot on. You deduct the fibre and count only the carbs left. Neat huh?
