of which sugars???? im confused.......

When reading a food label regarding carb content do you go by the carb content
or the (of which sugars)???

I bought some shrimps the other night with garlic and herb butter, the packet
said 9.1 grams carbs per 100g of which sugars trace?... little confused here...

Atkins allows all shellfish and
butter Consisted of butter 77%, Shallots - garlic puree 7% parsley 3% fresh
lemon juice - salt and white pepper...

Total carbs minus fiber. In the US, the fiber amount is usually
indented under the total carbs, like this:

Carbohydrates: 10 grams
Fiber: 2 grams
Sugars: 1 grams

The above would give you 8 grams net.

Outside the US, the amount of fiber is usually always subtracted, and
usually they don't indent it, so the same food would show something like
this:

Carbohydrates: 8 grams
Sugars: 1 grams
Fiber: 2 grams

This also is 8 grams net. Same food, different label.

To double check to see whether the fiber is subtracted out of the total
for carbohydrates or not, tot up what the total calories would be each
way, and see which number matches or comes closest to (rounding) the
total listed on the label.

One gram of fat = 9 calories
One gram of protein or carbohydrate = 4 calories

Hope this helps.

Atkins allows all shellfish but they do have carbs, as do the garlic, herbs,
and lemon juice.
