Thanks so much!! I am still a little confused...do I get the net carb information from the label?

No you get the carbs and fiber. Net carbs=carbs-fiber.

Sheena is correct. Get your information from the label. Carbs - fiber = net carbs

For anyone who is using Fitday, you can get it to count the fiber for you. You click into "Goals" on the left side of the screen, and set a goal for fiber. It doesn't matter what number you choose - I set my goal as 1, just to get it to count fiber for me. Now, a number for fiber will be displayed along with the numbers for calories, fat, carbs, and protein. You just need to subtract fiber from carbs, and that will be your net carb count.

Besides figuring out the net carbs from the label, you need to read the ingredients list. If it has sugar, starch, corn starch, high fructose corn syrup, fructose, corn syrup or grain, you can't eat it even if it claims low carb amounts. If it has less than one full carb per serving, they can legally say zero carbs, but if you eat more than the tiny serving, you are taking in carbs and they can add up quickly. Make sure you go by the serving size--most bottled drinks have more than one serving so they can make the carb or sugar grams sound low.

When a product claims sugar free on the front of the label, be sure to carefully read the ingredients. For example, sugar free Cool Whip has more carbs and sugars than the regular--it's major ingredient is corn syrup which is liquid sugar. Some products are now saying "evaporated cane juice" on the ingredient list, which makes it table sugar. That's how they make sugar from sugar cane--they squeeze out the juice from the cane stalks and evaporate the water out of it before grinding it to get granulated sugar. It's not exactly a lie, but sneaky all the same.
