when calculating carb content for (low) carb diets from fibre and carbs on food labels....
For example, on Tesco Granary Wholemeal bread food label:
------------ 100g --- slice
Carbohydrates 39.8g --- 17.5g
of which sugars 2.4g --- 1.0g
Fibre --------- 6.8g --- 3.0g -
Carbs_in_diet = Carbohydrates - Fibre = 17.5 - 3.0 = 14.5
for a slice?
Same for US Food labels?
So far I have not subtracted fibre/fiber in my foods, but I want to lower my daily carbs by eating less brown bread (don't eat white bread), porridge and pasta (don't eat white pasta and never eat rice) and want to use correct carb values.
