HOW CAN I MAKE SENSE OUT OF SUGAR ON LABELS UNDER CARBOHYDRATES
Normally we go out for breakfast and I have been getting a Western omelet made with egg beaters and an order of whole wheat toast or 2 scrambled egg beaters, 2 strips bacon and it comes with whole wheat toast or English muffin or rye toast. I have cut back in other areas and been eating a lot of salmon and rib eye steaks. I prepare taxes. During the last 4 months it was tax season we worked late and always went out to eat. So we eat out a lot.
This is what I need guidance on. So if you have pointers in eating out or a source on point I would love to hear it.
This morning we uncharacteristically ate at home.
I ate Jif Peanut butter on whole wheat toast with Chobani Yogurt. I was reading the labels and your section on NET Carbs and became confused. I figured I was way over then maybe I was not. here is what was on the labels:
Jif Peanut butter 2 tbsp
total carbs 7g
dietary fiber 2g
sugars 3g
Natures pride whole wheat bread 1 slice
total carbs 21g
dietary fiber 3g
sugars 4g
Chobani yogurt
total carbs 19g
dietary fiber 1g
sugars 17g
NO mention of sugar from alcohols.
HOW do I understand all this?
