I thought net carbs was total carbs minus fiber. which would put grapenuts at 42 grams of carbs.
The "other" carbs could be sugars. Some label will have total carbs, fiber, and sugars listed. (fiber and sugar being a sub catagory of total carbs)
Fiber is subtracted from the total carbs because it has no effect on blood sugar.
that is why we look for the net carbs vs. total carbs. Fiber is good, sugar is bad.
