If someone could help. The carbs in bacon - everyone here treats bacon as 0 carbs. On the packaging here in Australia the carbs are variable to say the least. I was buying one brand when I read the labelling and it stated that 100g was 1.2c (I was blissfully thinking all bacon was 0), be that as it may I was quite willing to add it to my daily carbs (along with the heavy whipping cream/pure cream here which is 0.6 or 0.7/20ml - unlike yours at 0 carbs) - all these incidentals just add up during the day I tell ya. I bought a different brand yesterday thinking it would be same carb count - silly me
this one states that 100g is equivalent to 3.7 carbs (there is no dietary fibre listed on either to subtract
).
The calories, protein, fat, etc are almost identical between the 2 brands, also the ingredients. I did learn an interesting fact though - who would have thought they put sugar in bacon? not I. Listed as the 4th ingredient is sucrose (cane sugar).
Am I missing something here? or do I just go by the labelling?
Are Australia's packaging rules more stringent (picky picky picky) that they state in such detail?
Are they right or wrong.? HELP HELP HELP
Accordingly - for all you who have low carbs for breakfast if you are having say bacon (0)and eggs (say 1 at 0.7), plus a cup of coffee (1) and cream (0) = 1.7 for me would be bacon (3.7) and egg (0.7) plus coffee (1) and cream (0.7) = 6. A bit of a difference wouldn't you say. No wonder my carbs add up so quick.
