"One carb" is shorthand for "one gram of carbohydrate". There ya go.

Thank you.

Now, if I'm "counting carbs", how do I deal with fractions? I can have one spoon, two spoons, three spoons -- they are countable. I can have 1 gram, 1.1 grams, 1.4 grams, 1.6 grams, 1.71432 grams (where there's a ridiculous number of significant digits). Are all these "one carb" under the counting of grams paradigm?

I can count enumberable things, such as one person, two persons, three persons, four.

Round to the number of significant figures you find applicable. Or try Weight Watchers, which has some sort of point system.

Testily yours,

I don't need to try WW. I don't mind my current shape and weight.

I just happen to be a cranky old pedant.
