Advice on peanut butter label please...
 

Please have a look at this link:
Whole Earth Peanut Butter

Am I supposed to be able to know what the net carbs are on this product?
After subtracting 3.7g of sugars from the total carbs at 9.9g, does this leave the net carbs because it doesn't say what the rest of the carbs are made from?

Just to confuse me more I noticed that it lists the fibre separately!

Thanks for your attention and any advice you can give me.

As it is not a USA-style label it does not count fibre as being a carbohydrate at all, which is why it is listed seperately.

BTW we do not deduct the sugars from the carbohydrates to get net carbs

In our labels (in UK and many other non-USA countries) what they call 'total carbohydrates' = what lowcarbers call 'net carbohydrates', so you need to count 9.9 grams as the net carb number for 100 grams of the peanut butter.

You count the carbs as 9.9g/100g. In the UK fibre is not included in the carbs but listed separately, so you don't have to figure out the net carbs yourself. The carbs on the label are net carbs.

ETA: Oops, somebody was quicker than me, sorry.

Thanks for your help.

I've just realised that I was talking tosh! Forgot what I'd read, then got everything backwards.

So basically what I was getting at: It would ONLY be fibre carbs that I would deduct IF it hadn't been separated in the first place (UK).

Spot on! :agree:

Hi Sprog

This peanut butter helps me to 'sometimes' resist eating an entire family pack chocolate bar. One or two teaspoons usually gets me through that need rush. Tesco's do a wholenut version as well (green lid) at their bigger stores, it's ok and cheap too but the Whole Earth one is a winner. I did buy a huge tub of peanut butter from the healthfood shop once and it was vile and went in the bin.

Yup, as the others have said, it's about 10g carbs for each 100g you eat. I like peanut butter mixed with butter, cocoa powder and sweetener. You can 'ice' choclate cakes with it or roll it into little balls and put them in the fridge to eat as little treats. Delicious!
