confused about carbs in atkins bars and others

[natalieann]

hi all i bought atkins crispy choc bars, yummy and it says under 2g of cabrs in each bar, but when i add my my fitness pall it says over 15grams and leaves me hardly any carbs for the day......

i also bought some skiny pasta which the pack says zero carbs yet my fiteness pall menu says 20g

If skinny pasta is the same as zero noodles (made with shirataki) then they really are 0 carbs - the carb count showing is for fibre. Try doing a search of net carbs.

Atkins bars however are evil they use a sweetener called maltitol which does contain carbs, stalls a lot of people and causes a lot of people bathroom issues. Best avoided. I'll bump a post about it. Atkins basically just found a way to lie about the carb content - remember the bars are sold by a profit making company. Atkins the doctor would never have approved Atkins bars as he was against the sweeteners in them.
