Carb Count - Include Fibre or not??
Hey all,
just wondering, I cant remember where I read it, but in the US you should subtract the fibre count from the carb count to get the real carb count (cause fibre shouldnt be counted).
I think I was browsing through the UK forum ( I cant really remember) and they said that in the UK you should not subtract the fibre count as it was already done so??
What's the story in Ireland?
I thought it was like this
Carbs .............................50 g
of which sugar...............12 g
Fibre...............................5 g
Which means that the fibre is not included in the carb count and you can't subtract it. But if it is written like this:
Carbs .............................50 g
of which sugar...............12 g
of which Fibre.... ............5 g
In this case you can subtract the fibre count from the total carb count.
Any other input or clues??
