Incorrect Carb Counts on Labels
Carb counting can be a challenge but as I’ve been doing it for awhile now, I have noticed that some nutritional information labels are just plain incorrect. I buy frozen hash browns to eat in the morning and they’re labeled as being 15g of carb for one. After going high a few times after eating them, I weighed one on my kitchen scale only to find that the carbs by weight for potatoes (they’re nearly all potato with just some onion powder and a preservative) are nearly double that. There are gluten free breads (I’m also celiac) labeled as 18g per slice that I have to call 25g just to stand a chance of not going very high. My carb ratio is pretty dialed in so I really don’t think that’s the issue. Anyone else notice this? Do you all mainly count from food labels or do you have other methods?
