This site has been helpful to me to find the nutritional content of fruits/veggies and other nonpackaged/labeled foods:http://www.nutritiondata.com <BR/><BR/>But most of us follow a handy block sheet that agrees with the nutritional data that tells us that for example:<BR/>1 med apple contains 25g of carbs 4 g of fiber which means 1/2 apple is aprox 1 block carb.<BR/>strawberries: 1 block<BR/>12 g carbs 3 g of fiber for 1 cup<BR/>Grapes: 3 blocks<BR/> 27 grams carb, 1 gram of fiber for 1 cup<BR/><BR/>So yes, you do subtract the fiber. And as in the above examples of fruit (strawberries vs. grapes), the more fiber in any food "the better" (digestive/heart health, lower glycemic) ,and more volume you can have. And that is a good thing.<BR/>Hope that helps.<BR/>I know Michelle... i'm officially a zone nerd.<BR/>:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494964257918142100.post-82424639953467634282009-02-21T09:59:00.000-08:002009-02-21T09:59:00.000-08:00Kim-The thought of Zone ice cream makes me scared....Kim-<BR/>The thought of Zone ice cream makes me scared...BLAHHHHH:)<BR/><BR/>Anonymous- If you are eating "real" fruit (as opposed to dried or packaged) I would say that it is near impossible to take that into account. If you are eating dried fruit (which tends to have alot of sugar) and you have a label to follow you could subtract out any dietary fiber in that.michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13682875927286462172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494964257918142100.post-83493262213802970322009-02-21T04:56:00.000-08:002009-02-21T04:56:00.000-08:00This doesn't necessarily pertain to this meal,...This doesn't necessarily pertain to this meal,but I have a question about fruit. Do you subtract the fiber (for the carb count) in the fruit as well the same way you do for bread & beans?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494964257918142100.post-12540207341142852092009-02-20T20:34:00.000-08:002009-02-20T20:34:00.000-08:00Mmmm...
