Carbohydrate index

Is it really that hard for you to figure out what carbs are?

For every cook on LC that has heard the phrase " how many carb's in this?"
;-)
I personally don't cook as much as I should, but have found this site very
useful.

May be useful for some. I use Fitday, personally.

Thank you for this link. I really appreciate it.

Again, Fitday is laid out nicely and you can get your carbs counted
accordingly. I like the USDA site too.

Too bad they give nothing more than averages for alcoholic beverages.

That would like saying:

Bread, 1 slice-[censored] gms, [censored] carbs
Which breads? Sourdough, wholewheat, pumpernickel, rye, white, etc? All
bread, but all with different carb counts.

How can an LC dieter accurately count the carbs counts of red wine, for
instance, when there's malbecs, chiantis, cabs, merlots, etc., all with
different years of bottlings, and from different countries?

There is, however, a better way to get the most accurate carbs for what you
drink---especially important during the holiday season.
