Is true, the walnuts I have purchased lately says 3 carbs with 3 fiber. allowing a 0 carb count. Still have to watch the quantity though because of calories. Usually crush up a handful and add to cream cheese and roll it in shredded cheese to make my own cheeseball.

Some or all of the fiber has already been subtracted from the total carb count. http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/cgi-bin/nut_search.pl People who are serious about low carbing need to be increasingly watchful as low carb gets more popular . Some manufacturers and restaurants are really going to play fast and loose with net effective carb counts.

Ah, that's our Roger. Any time the subject line says "nuts", you can bet he'll be a contributor! : ) Marsha/Ohio > On a packet of nuts i have just bought it says carbs 7.8 grms and fibre 6.2 > per 100 grms so that would give a net carb for atkins purposes of 1.6 is > that right because according to the book about 30 grms of nuts equal 5 grms > carbs so i am now totally confused. What nuts? pecans, walnuts, almonds, filberts? You've got to be more specific.

In the UK, the fiber is pre-deducted from the carb count, so you need to count the full 7.8 g. Em I am based in the Uk so this would now made more sense. The nuts i bought were peanuts, but i have had the same problem with almonds which i have as a nibble during the day.

You'd be safest using the USDA database counts for the variety you are eating. http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/cgi-bin/nut_search.pl -- Jenny - Low Carbing for 4 years. At goal for weight.
