True carb count in bars?
I recently found Quest protein bars. The carb count for the one I like (raspberry/white chocolate) is 23, but there are 17 grams of fiber -- so net 6 carbs. The problem is, I am out of ketosis for the past three days since eating them (one meal replaced per day). I am keeping to under 20 grams/day, as I am only on Day 23 of Atkins.
I also bought some Atkins bars, and there is great confusion because the carb count is also about 23 but showing NO fiber. The "net carbs" on the front of the box says "2". How can this be? 23 is not 2...
Should I avoid these bars as giving a false-low number of carbs?
The only other food I am eating is the usual eggs, cheese, meat -- and the diet was working perfectly until I started snacking on the bars.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for your help!
