Hi i am trying to find out anything about Amaranth Flour

Amaranth flour is not specifically for low carb lifestyles. It's from an ancient grain and has no gluten. So it you're low carbing to escape gluten, it's a workable flour.

The back of my pkg of amaranth flour says 1/4 cup =20 g carbs, no fiber.

Needless to say I do not use it since LCing!

Not sure what you are making, but almond flour is low carb and is good for baking low carb muffins, cakes, etc.

It is almonds that are ground up very fine. If you can't find it in a store and have a food processor, you can make your own.
