Low carb claims re: Bagels?
Yes, it does appear that we must be careful , watch the calories despite claims that this is not necessary, and also research the foods we eat or bake that are "low carb" I bought a package of onion bagels in a health food store. Package says 8 (net) carbs per bagel which are rather chubby in size, similar to a regular Manahttan bagel...I cut one in half to have with a slice of cheese for breakfast..it was wonderful...But then, when I looked for ingredients, there was nothing there for me to assess, no nutrition count, not even total weight, so I called the store. They claim their baker doesn't want to reveal his recipe...So what do you do? Then I looked at an Atkins recipe for bread, total carbs were 23 for entire loaf, so I surmised that six bagels, at 48 net are possible to create...
By the way, how does gram translate into tsp or tb or quarter cup or anything?
