Confused about the nutritional value labels?
So I’m starting a keto diet soon and I’m planning to use coconut flour for most of my recipes but this following thing seriously confuses me. In my local shop, there are three different brands of coconut flour but all of them show different amount of carbs for 100 grams. One says it has 22 grams of carbs for 100, one says it has 16 and the other one says it only has 7. My question is, can I trust the one that says it only has 7 grams of carbs for 100 grams of coconut flour or it has more than that but only says 7 for whatever reason?
-
Is the amount of fiber different in each bag? That might be the reason they are all different
-
It may also be possible that the one with only 7 carbs is listing net carbs while the others are listing total carbs.

I'm new to this too...what's a net carb? How do you figure it out and when I'm keeping track of my daily carbs what do I use? For example if it were 50 am I doing 50 regular or net? THANK YOU!!!

bankpro30 Net carbs are total carbs minus fiber and sugar alcohols. I believe most set app for net carbs, but you can set your carb goal for total or net. My current Macro is 15 grams net carbs. The app still shows me my total carbs so I can can easily see as well. Good Luck.
