Now, I had a look but couldn't find a similar post.
My point is this. The Atkins book says to count each 30grams of cheese as 1 carb...
but every packet in my fridge,(I currently have six different cheeses) all report the carb content to be under 0.2 grams carbs per 100g which by my math says I should be able to eat a ton of cheese and stay under my 5 non veg carbs per day...
Why does Atkins say to count 30g of cheddar as 1 carb when the stuff in my fridge is 100grams for only 0.1 carbs??
Is this a calorie control measure or a fat control measure or an anti stall measure because although I don't want to eat a kilo of cheese to get to 1 carb I don't like reading one thing in the book and every packet telling me something else when I'm so carefully to check labels.
Suggestions anyone?
