Re: Bacon
Using that same logic, could those hidden numbers not simply be the case of rounding down for protein or fat?

Re: Bacon
Yes, I suppose it could. You are very wise. However, if you look at the ingredients on the label which I didn't share to try to keep it simple, sugar is listed yet unaccounted for in the macronutrients. I didn't want to go too indepth. My mistake.
Ingredients: Ingredients: Bacon (Cured with Water, Salt, Sodium Erythorbate, Sodium Nitrite. May also contain Smoke Flavoring, Sugar, Dextrose, Brown Sugar, Sodium Phosphate, Potassium Chloride, Flavoring).
Dextrose, sugar, and brown sugar are all carbs."...Health and fitness are more than just personal goals - they're gifts we give to the people around us.

Re: Bacon
Hormel now makes a "natural" bacon that's processed without sugar or nitrates/nitrites. Very tasty stuff and has no carbs. I found it at Super Target; it's in a brown and red cardboard wrapper.No one ever accomplished great things by merely thinking, but by DOING !
What would you attempt to accomplish today if you knew you could not fail?

Re: Bacon
Sodium erythorbate is made from sugar as well. Not sure how you'd count it but I've been assigning .05 for it and .05 for the actual sugar listed.SW:301/CW:277/GW:170

Re: Bacon
I believe sodium phosphate is also a carb. I saw today the ribs I bought from Kroger had 4 carbs per serving because of their "solution" which is water, salt and sodium phosphate; so unless they are adding something they don't list sodium phosphate is the culprit.Comment

Re: Bacon
I bought some of that bacon also, because it's the only one with sugar listed as it's last ingredient so I went under the notion that this means it has very, very little sugar added in the entire pack of bacon.
I don't actually eat slices of bacon, I render the fat from bits of it for my veggies to saute in and eat those little bits - maybe two inches total of bacon.
Another thread commented that carbs in meat had to be counted. I thought that meat (not processed stuff like deli meat or canned meat) contained 0 carbs. I am so confused, I can't wait for this book to get in.Comment

That's true ... unprocessed meat is 0 carb, except for the exceptions such as organ meats, some shellfish.
You can always look things up on a carb counter:
