Don't forget fiber

It's a carb, but isn't digestible (IIRC). Anyway, they don't count, either. "Net Carbs" is a LC "trigger phrase" - it means "Grams of Carbs - Fiber - Sugar Alchohols", and its the part that gets counted towards your "total intake". Staying "under 20 Grams of carbs" isn't actually "grams of carbs", its "grams of Net Carbs".

Huh. So "net carbs" is meaningful after all (though according to [livejournal.com profile] ambar potentially misleading for some subset of the population). What I thought was marketing-misspeak turns out to be jargon. Okay, I guess I have to retract that portion of the rant. Thanks for the clue.
