I accidentally left my book at a friends house. Does the book say to count an egg as 1g of Carbs?

Howdy Lance,

     I went here on the web for the answer, which I believe is also in the FTS book.

OBTW-Welcome to FTS and all the great folks, recipes and conversations.

Our Best to you and yours,

Hi Lance! :)

It seems like everywhere we look, the carb counts differ.
Here's the USDA's take on raw egg: http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/foods/show/111

Just to be safe, I count each egg as 1.0.

Eating fewer carbs than we think is much better than eating more carbs than we think. ;)
