Fatsecret / Carb counts on cheese
« on: August 11, 2010, 08:12:23 AM »
Hi all,

I have been logging my food on fatsecret.com so that I can tally up the carbs every day but I am confused about cheese.  It says there are carbs in cheddar cheese even though my package says there are 0.

Should I go by packages only? 

Does anyone here use online tracking programs?

Thanks!

Nic

Go by packages..Not all cheese is made equally...lol...I use to but the site allowed me to add the food in that I used and the counts of them.
Live each day as if it was on purpose.

If you want 0 carb cheese you need to buy it and shred yourself. The pre shredded cheeses are coated with potato starch so it doesnt stick together
