If a label says <1 for carbs, I count it as 1. BUT......you have to watch what they say is a serving size, too. Sometimes, it is a very tiny amount that counts as a serving, and that is why they are able to mark it as <1. It is better to round UP than down, because it is in our best interest to keep the carbs accurate.
This morning at church, we had Muffins for Moms, and MommaB was in charge of it. Guess what she did? She is so awesome! She had made Doug and Umpa's Maple Sausage Egg Muffins for her and for me! They were amazingly delicious and she had it warmed up for me when I walked in the door so I could still have time to rehearse with our Praise Band. Also, another friend at church told me that she had ordered the FTS book after seeing the 700 Club segment I posted on my FB page last week. How cool!!!! After church, another friend mentioned to me that she was "sort of" doing FTS because she had switched to brown rice instead of white rice and wheat bread instead of white bread. Her husband is familiar with FTS and he kind of stepped back and waited for my response. I explained to her that she was moving in a good direction by thinking about what would be better for her and her kids to eat, but that it was NOT FTS at all. I explained about the rice (both kinds) turning quickly to sugar after entering our blood stream. She said, "Well, I just love my bread and potatoes too much to give them up!" I said, "I used to love them, too, until I found out that my love for them gave me a disease that I will always have to deal with. They don't tempt me anymore!" I will list my foods for today in another post since this one is kind of long already..... I talk too much, too.... : )
