MissyMustDoIt Silver Member 20 July 2010 #5 just the carbs bit on UK foods, the book is USA and they break down their carbs into sugar/fiber i think so we just count the total carbs

exp107 Silver Member 25 July 2010 #9 So do you extract the fibre content for everything or just the veg?
B BrianSecretAgent Full Member 25 July 2010 #10 OK - so just I can be clear on this - for me! The label (UK) says - 6g Carbs / 100 - I therefore weigh 100g and hey presto I can count 6g. The Label (Non UK) says - 6g Carbs of which 3g is fibre / 100 and therefore I weigh 100g and only count 3g... Am I close?

Zimara Yummy mummy to be! 26 July 2010 #11 Almost spot on Brian! EU labels are the same as UK, US ones add fibre in their carb count. Last edited: 26 July 2010
