Hi guys,
I have a question about salad dressing. I use one that has no sugars, and just one carb per 2 tablespoons. I have heard so much that dressings have hidden carbs. Can you guys tell me how i can find out if mine has hidden carbs?

thanks pip

Yep - use the hidden carb inspector over on the right ->

Just remember that the nutrition info on the bottle has probably been rounded, and they're small numbers, so it's not going to be too accurate.

I wouldn't worry too much about hidden carbs in dressings if you're only using a tablespoon or two. I'd worry more in something big like the high-protein "chocolate bars."
