Counting carbs/calories in fiber?
Okay, I take in a LOT of fiber (by a LOT I mean anywhere from 50-80 g per day, I'm incredibly used to it by now) from xanthan gum, ground flax seed, guar gum, corn bran, wheat bran, fibrous veggies and fruit, and I've been wondering if I should count these fiber sources in my total calorie count, and if I should just count the starch count in my carbohydrate total (ie I eat a whole cup of oat bran to equal half a cup of oats, should I not be doing this?). It seems like a really simplistic and rudimentary question, and I'm rather embarassed about having to ask it to begin with. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
Peace. |

Really it doesn't matter either way, but your body cannot process fiber therefore the cals are null.
