I look for the 98/99% stuff. Lidl/Aldi generally have German items available that are almost entirely meat and haven't been bulked up. For milk - iirc about 5g/100g. I don't use it at all these days and use cream instead.  If you're not limiting your carbs so much, it may be fine for you.So for someone like me aiming for around 20g/day a food with 5g carb is significant (at 25% of the daily total).   If your target is 125g, a 5g food is much less of an issue.  And if you're looking at UK sources don't subtract the fibre - that's already been done. US sources however do not subtract fibre. BTW, chickpeas are pretty carb-rich at 61g/100. So are oats, 66g/100.  You'll need to test for them in isolation and see what impact they have on you.  If you can actually tolerate this amount of carb you are very lucky.</blockquote>
