Look at the total carbohydrates not the grams of sugar. Total carbohydrates include: sugar, complex carbohydrates, and fiber content. When a food has 5 g or more of fiber per serving: subtract half the fiber grams from the total grams of carbohydrate for a more accurate estimate of the carbohydrate content. If you are counting carbohydrates then you can plan out how much you will or will not eat and know the number of CHO\u2019s you have consumed. When carbohydrate counting look at the total grams of carbohydrate rather than the grams of sugar. Total carbohydrates on the food label include sugar, complex carbohydrates, and fiber. Only looking at the grams of sugar you can exclude certain nutrients and/or certain food groups. The grams of sugar and fiber are counted as part of the grams of total carbohydrate. When a food has 5 g or more of fiber per serving: subtract half the fiber grams from the total grams of carbohydrate for a more accurate estimate of the carbohydrate content.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
