How to count carbs in Garbonzo/chick peas.

From this site  I get an understanding that Legumes have resistant starch.

https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/2015/11/16/ask-the-expert-legumes-and-resistant-starch/

 I got this response off another group,  "Legumes are one of the best sources of resistant starch. Raw, dried legumes contain about 20-30% resistant starch by weight (7). That means almost half of the starch in raw legumes is resistant to digestion."

Does that mean I can use a multiplier with legumes, i.e. 10 gr of legumes time 80% or 8 grams.  Wondering can I use 8 as my number of carbs for those legumes? Because we don't digest some of those carbs.

    No idea. I just use the nutritional value on the tin/packet and use that info.  When I look up chickpeas on carb manager, it comes in as very high in carbs, even taking the fibre into account, so I've just been avoiding them except in very tiny quantities. Hopefully someone with more knowledge can help.
