Miller Lite is advertised as having only 1 carb per beer - is this true?

I believe I read on this forum not too long ago that the carb counts for beer (specifically Miller Lite and Michelob (sp?) Ultra) are incorrect and the companies find a way around counting all the carbs to make their beer more marketable.

If it is true that the companies do not include all carbs, what is the *actual* carb count for the above beers?

Thanks for your help!

From the chart I use, Miller Lite has 3.2 carbs.

And true........some beers do not list their nutritional info on the can.........for the ones that don't.........usually you can google it and find out.

Here is the list I have:

Hope that helps.

Just note that even though the carb count is lower for alcohol it does stall weight loss... your body will burn the alcohol before it will burn any fat...
Just be careful with it.
