[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2726994, member: 372207"] Depends where you find the nutritional information. If you use google to look up the carb content of, for instance an apple, the first result coming up often states the source being the USDA. In this case you do subtract the fiber. US sources read as 'carbohydrates of which fiber', which means the fiber is included in the total carbs and should be subtracted. UK sources state the carbs and fibre separately, no subtracting (which could even result in a negative amount of carbs, which would be impossible). Easy clue is in the spelling, fiber in the US (subtract), fibre in the UK. As for the lentils and going low, pulses are odd, and many people find they need to dose less than you'd expect, according to their I:C ratio. [/QUOTE]
