1/2 cup of zucchini has 3.5 gms of carbs and 1.3 gms of fiber...so that would make it 2.2 net carbs for 1/2 a cup...then count the carbs of whatever you are frying it in.

Hope this helps.

5 oz. of zucchini is just over 1 Cup (1.13C). That equals to about 3.15g net carbs.

Use this .pdf file (the Nutritional Spreadsheet from the Low Carb Dieting FAQ) to find your carb vs weight counts:

I always thought it odd that fitday lists one large zucchini as having half the calories/carbs that it does for one ounce 'Squash, zucchini, baby, raw'. Are zucchini very small?
We call them courgettes over here and a 8" long/2" thick one weighs about 10 ounces!!
