Net carbs

[cQQlgirl 0]

The Atkins shakes and bars say they have 2 or 3 'net' carbs. When I look at the back of the product (nutrition label) it (the bar) shows that it has 18 carbs with 6 of Fiber and 2 of sugar alcohols. This doesn't add up to me. How can they say it has 3 net carbs?

I'm also looking for a low carb ready to drink shake that is not awful tasting. I got 'Premier Nutrition' chocolate shakes at costco and gag! They have this really weird taste to them. They are 30g. of Protein and 2g carbs. Great numbers if I can cover the taste with enough almond extract. I'd like to know of shakes that taste a little better. Thanks

Hi. Net carb means carbs minus dietary Fiber. The dietary fiber offsets the carb load. For my Protein Shakes I use Slim Fast Low Carb in chocolate. They have 20g of Protein and 2 gram net carb. I often drink them 2 at a time since the carbs are so low.
