Re: net carbs?
A food label lists the total carbs in a food and then underneath lists the amount of fiber carbs. Since fiber moves quickly through your system, we subtract them out of the total carbs to get the net carbs. I hope this helps.Aka Nyna

Re: net carbs?
A good explanation for someone reading labels in USA
Thanks for posting it.
However if anyone is in UK then our fibre grams are not taken into account at all under the 'total carb' as the UK labelleing does not recognise fibre as being a carbohydrate.
So on UK labels the fibre is listed in a different section of the nutrition label and so does not need to be deducted to get 'net carbs'.
Many other non-USA countries have the same system of labelling.Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!
