Reply With QuoteYour body can't process the cals from fiber so when you figure out your carb intake for a meal you deduct the grams of fiber from the total carb count. Ex:
Oats - Total 29 G Carbs per 1/2 C
Fiber = 5 G
Effective Carbs in Oats: 24G

Real carbs formula
I've noticed some people talking about figuring out the real carb value of a meal by doing something with the fiber grams or something...why do you need to do this and how do you do it?

Since fiber doesn't get digested like say sucrose, does it still produce energy?

Seriously 1/2 C of Oats has 2 G of soluble fiber. Most of us on these lower carbohydrate plans only eat 1/2 C per meal. Thats only 8 calories. Is it really worth telling new cutters to be worried about 8 calories?
Yes from what I've read soluble fiber calories do count but its so few calories on the low carb plans its hardly worth it.

Seeing your body can't digest the fiber then I would say the energy effects are minimal. JMO!Originally posted by TJohn

Its definitely something to consider if you weigh and measure your food intake on a daily basis for a year or more; those extra calories removed over a long period of time can add up to be five lbs surprisingly quickly.
