Fiber

[Jess2010]

Just to make sure I understand..
I have a low carb tortilla with 10g carbs. 7g are dietary fiber. Does this mean that only 3g go towards my 50g/day?

I found some 'low-carb' tortilla shells (OLE - Xtreme Wellness Low Carb Tortillas - Plain,Spinach, or Tomato Basil) at Target & Food City. The macros per tortilla is:
Cal - 71
Fat - 2
Sat: 1
CHO - 5
Dietary Fiber: 12
Prot - 8
Can you explain how this would work when counting carbs. These taste great by the way!

I know this has been dicussed previously on the forum

And this sentence seems abundantly clear

"only count digestible carbs towards the 50 g/day limit"

[deerhunter98]

So, in essence the macros that I posted for the tortillas indicate a -7 in CHO.

The "legit" answer is that it was a non-US lable (for EU or such) and got here ny mistake.

Most non-US countries do not count non-digestable fibes as carbs.

The non-legit answer is that the label is a legit Mexican version (yeah, they need domestic labels in English) and are just ignoring that they can not sell in the US with such.

Regardless, the answer is +5.
