Almond butter carb count ?!

[Geetwo]

Hey!
Have I got this right.. I found this in holland and Barrett but it has more fibre than carbs so if taken away it means its a zero carb food ?!

I didn't buy it.. It might be minging anyway so irrelevant ha ha but if its like penur butter ohm non nom!

No subtracting fibre over here! I bought a had if cashew nut butter, just nuts and oil, heaven eaten straight out of the jar

Sounds like my idea of heaven, yum! Thanks for sharing!

 

[Geetwo]

Teeney you mean we don't take fibre out. ? Or do

 

[CornishTT]

She means we don't. I was confused too.

Apparently in USA they don't subtract it so it is shown on their labels and in mfp and you would subtract fibre.

In UK/EU dietary fibre is already deduced from total on label, so wysiwyg.

Ignore sugar and fibre on mfp, just look at total carb count.

 

[teeney]

LOL, what ^^^^ said

We do not subtract fibre or anything else from the carb count.

 

[Geetwo]

Wysiwyg and mfp.. huh?! lol

Re: When will it 'click'

Sorry, mfp = my fitness pal
Wysiwyg = what you see is what you get.

still not following lol do I takeaway the fibre count from anything in UK then as Atkins suggests etc as it doesn't impact blood sugar I think it was?

I don't use MFP will have to have a look at it

NO!!!!! Do not take away fibre! We do not do net carbs in the UK

 

[Geetwo]

But why ?

 

[13st By Xmas]

AtkinsFTW just told you why. "In UK/EU dietary fibre is already deduced from total on label."

 

[Geetwo]

Ah I see ! Didn't know that so it helps as I have always taken it away, was only when I saw that illogical label I wondered .. Nowhere have I seen info to advise that for us Brits .. is it something I just missed, how do you know this oh clever one ?

I hope oh clever one refers to me :-D haha!
Us women are just clever anyways
I did the same mistake when I first did atkins years ago, there was an atkins uk website and all the info was there, very helpful! There are still message boards, just don't think they are used much anymore.

 

[spongebob125]

Oh no, I have been taking the fibre away from the carbs too. The book I read said I could. That's complicated things a bit now.

 

[Geetwo]

tbh I find it easier now as when you pick anyone up to check you don't need to do the maths! Would also explain a lot!

 

[Geetwo]

Anything up .. Lol

Almond butter is amazing. As someone said, cashew and almond butters are so tempting to just eat by the spoonful. I usually toast low carb pitas (4g carbs each) and top with almond butter. The one I had is 99.5% whole almonds and 0.5% salt. Strangely it has a slight sweetness to it. Absolutely lovely...
