Does anyone have a clue how to figure out carb count when using resistant starch in a recipe? Today I made almond cookies using about 1/8 c of it- it greatly improves texture. I know it is used a lot in LC breads etc. but can't find any info. other than saying it lowers glycemic index significantly by being almost all fiber.

Probably the best thing to do would be to get in touch with the manufacturer and ask them for the nutritionals. There are a lot of different resistant starches out there.

Where can I even *FIND* resistant starch? I've found *ONE* source for Hi-Maize Resistant Starch, but the shipping is more than the product! I'm getting a sample, and if it's good enough, it might be worth it -- but if I could buy it in a store somewhere, that'd be even better.

Your package should have the nutritional information on it; if not, where did you get the starch, your place of purchase can get the information for you. THEN you work the information into your recipe...

Please do provide your point of purchase info, we'd all like to know where you got it.

Val, the website you posted yourself in THIS thread http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthread.php?t=209434 has nutritional profile information at the site (check the 'technical' pages). If this is the place you got your starch supply, then these are the numbers you use.
