[QUOTE="velofan, post: 2579622, member: 508427"] I agree, but they remain the least carby snack in most pubs etc - my backup when I’m not mentally strong enough to completely abstain when others are scoffing! Peanut butter is equally varied: Whole Earth non-organic is about 8g carbs/100g, whilst organic is 12-13 ( approx figs as haven’t got either to hand). Again, other nutritional figs are similar. But it’s not really the specific foods, rather the variation. I’m not convinced it’s variety of nuts etc - figs vary by large percentages, yet range never mentioned in carb guides, and it’s generally only the total carbs figure that does this, but may be wrong. I wondered initially if it was some companies using the US system of including fibre in total, but that doesn’t work especially as there are variations within company ranges ( with Aldi it was exactly the same brand, just different pack sizes). We’ve just found Aldi Greek style yoghurt at lower carbs in Chester (4.3) than in Leeds (5.8). [/QUOTE]
