Low cal with high carb

I don't know about the seaweed, but the sodas sound correct. The one carb
comes from the three calories. Even diet coke has calories and carbs, but
they are so little that most people don't count them. It depends on your
plan.

Well, not really that high, I got some seaweed with no cals but one carb
listed per serving. I also got some splenda sodas that say one carb with 3
cals each.

Can these really have meaningful carbs when no cals are available?

Are these safe to consume in larger quantities without counting the carb?

Grass from your yard has carbs and close to no calories.

The carbs are indigestible - fiber.

There aren't many calories because the yard grass in largely indigestible.

So, the seaweed seems about right for a nearly indigestible weed.

I think they are fine. The carbs count, but they are few.

Some people focus on the Glycemic Index (GI). Your 3 calorie soda would
have a very high GI. I feel Glycemic Load (GL) (not GI) can be very
important. In my view the GI can be ignored as long as the total carbs
consumed is low. Tables showing GL assume your serving size. If your
serving size is way below the 100 grams the tables usually assume, then your
real GL is that much lower. The net result of all this is the fact that if
the carbs are low enough in quantity, the GI and GL are irrelevant.
Therefore, I sometimes eat foods with real sugar, since I know that the
quantity is lower than -say 5 grams. 5 grams of sugar adds a lot of flavor.

The Sugarbusters people may likely have a coronary, when they read the
above. Sugar in the tables will have a GI and GL that is huge.

seasoned seaweed can have sugar on them. all the packets of seaweed I have gone
through in my whole life (millions?) haven't got nutritional values written on
them so I can't help. i can't understand why your seaweed has no cal - they're
plants so there must be something on them except that the quantity is so little
that there is hardly any calories.

i've heard that they've loads of iodine and even some protein in them. weird.

I think "grilled" korean style seaweed might be better because they have only
salt sprinkled on them, but I'm not very sure.

Yeah, actually ten cals each sheet, I'm chomping the unseasoned sushi Nori.
Shows two carbs, one carb fibre. I know they have other good qualities.

Yes, the sushi nori is possibly best for low carber. They're also less flaky so
I can eat them while reading something without getting the pages all covered
in tiny bits of seaweed.
