Please can someone help. In the Carb counter section of DANDR it says that without the fibre, 2 tbsp of macadamia nuts = .8 carbs. I assumed 2 tablespoons to be say 8 - 10 nuts BUT, now I am reading in Dr Atkins recipe book, 8ish nuts = 4 gms carb!!!! It also says 4 grams on FitDay for 8 nuts. Can anyone enlighten me here. I have been using them as an afternoon snack, last couple of weeks, but I wouldn't have if I thought they had 4 carbs, plus came to a grinding halt on the weight loss last week, and wonder if the nuts were the culprit ?

Does anyone out there know the truth

i dont know about everybody, but i stalled when i begain eating nuts and cheese... when i cut out those i started burning fat again... i dont do nuts or cheese.

If you have the older edtion of Atkins cookbook (yellow cover), the counts listed are total carbs - the fiber hasn't been subtracted.

According to our Carb Counter tool, which is based on the USDA, 1 oz (10 - 12 whole nuts) of macadamias has 3.9g carbs / 2.4g fiber ... so 1.5g net.

Thank you Doreen that was what I had calculated. I bought my 1st 1/2 lb on saturday and split it into 7 small bag. A little over an ounce a bag.
These are great and I like the fiber

/ditto same here

Thankyou all for your info, will leave the nuts well alone for now, just don't need anything to rock the boat at the moment!!

keisha looks like your doing great ... keep it up!

I can't eat nuts either, no matter what the carb count. They stall me like crazy!
Too bad, too, because i love them. but we live and learn what we CAN do and what we can't.
Keep up the good work,
Lesle

maybe some people can eat them, maybe ill try em after i reach my goal........
