Induction Help Please!

I've got the book, read it up until the end of the 'Induction' chapter. Am really worried that I'm calculating net carbs on my salad dressing incorrectly - could someone have a look at the values below and tell me how much you get 2tbsp (possibly 3!) at? My brain is just frazzled :-(

Morrisons Fresh Caesar Dressing
Per tbsp (15ml)
Fat 5.5g
Carbs 1g (of which sugars = 0.3g)
Fibre trace

Thank you in advance - I hope I'm not the first person to not grasp this straight away!

I would count the 1 carb per tablespoon, I think net carbs is in America?! X

On English labels all you need to count is carbs. Whatever it says on the label is net carbs. In america they label food products differently. Just use the carbs on the English labels as that is the correct carb count xx you definitely are not the first person to get confused lol

I have copied this from the Atkins site for you xx

You see, in the USA, you rely on ‘net’ carbs and this is often referred to in earlier editions of the Atkins books; which is where the confusion comes from. This is because, on labels on USA foods, fibre is included in the total ‘Carbohydrate’ count, so our American friends must deduct the fibre to get ‘net’ carbs.However, in the UK and EU, fibre is actually shown separately so you don’t deduct it (or anything!) from the Carbohydrate total. So, for an example, if a label says:Carbohydrates – 5gOf which sugars – 2gFibre – 1gThen you’d count a total of*5g carbohydrates*for this food.There is one exception to this rule and this is for the Atkins range of bars & shakes. They contain polyols – or sugar alcohols – which are indigestible carbs. So you DO deduct these, however we clearly show this on the front of every single package we produce, to alleviate any confusion.
