20 a day of what? Calories?

>20 a day of what? Calories?<

20 net grams of carbohydrate. You can subtract the grams of fiber from the carbohydrate count to get net grams. Some nuts, for example, might have 3 grams of fiber per serving.

Therefore, if a serving has 7 grams of carbohydrate, the net grams would be 7 - 3 = 4 net grams.

20 grams of carbohydrates. There are 4 calories/gram, so that is about 80 carbohydrate calories/day. This doesn’t seem sustainable to me as a lifestyle, however, I do think getting rid of the junky carbs in our diet would be a great place to start, and may offer a considerable health benefit.

Again...this is a great book, and I highly recommend it if you have long been confused about nutrition advice/recommendations, and weight loss is a goal.

I don't want to come off as a jerk but read what I wrote again.

carbs=carbohydrates

Any food label has the amount of carbohydrates in grams per serving listed. There for you to count...
