net carbs ??

[melgirl1120]

Ok so I am still learning
I am about to have green beans for lunch
1/2 c=4 carbs Fiber =2
So I minus 2 grams fiber from 3 gr carbs=2 net carbs

Right!!??

So for 1/2c I will actually only be having 2 carbs??

Re: net carbs ??

Net carbs = total carbs - fiber grams - sugar alcohols

So if something has 4 total carbs and 2 fiber grams, the net carbs will be 2.

Re: net carbs ??

Personally, I don't subtract sugar alcohols. I've been burned a couple times by doing that. Breyers ice cream being one example. Thought I was having like 4 carbs I believe it was and found out it was actually 10.. And I could tell it the next day b/c my sugar was WAY OFF and I stalled immediately
