I wish the gov would crack down on the beer companies. Michelob Ultra claims only 2.6 grams of carbohydrates per bottle, but yet they ALSO say 95 calories.

Now 2.6 grams of carbs equals 10 calories. They also say the beer has 0 grams of fat and 0 grams of protein. So are they conveniently excluding 22 grams of SOME OTHER type of carb like FIBER? or something not very digestible like malitol/xylitol/splenda?

The gov forces food manufacturers to have clear nutrition tags on everything else, beer shouldn't be an exception, especially in THIS case, where the beer is SELECTED because of its nutritional numbers.

RE Sarah Lee bread: 9 grams of carbs per slice is terrible! 18 grams per sandwich (just for the stinkin bread) is definately NOT "low carb"! I use O-so-lo rolls, 3 grams net per roll, and they taste good.

The subway wraps are great, can't wait to try all the other products mentioned here if they REALLY are near-zero carbs

I don't do low carbs to lose weight (although it DOES help). For me, it reverses my cholesterol ratios from very bad, to very good

Anyone know how many carbs Jim Beam has??

Don't know the nutritional values of the Subway wraps, but I have been using low carb Tortillas by LaTortilla Factory, the large ones (about 9")have 19 grams of carbs, with 14 grams of fiber, no added sugars. And they taste like real food. Many of the "low carb" baked goods are horrid, plus just how much soy can one person eat :) And there are smaller sizes also, I've found these as a better alternative then the low carb breads, and I don't eat them every day, they still have wheat. Some of the low carb breads being promoted still have corn syrup and such in them, so buyers beware. :-)

You left out everyone's favorite chemical in beer: alcohol. It provides 7 calories / gram. Those extra 85 calories mean 12 grams or about a half a fluid ounce.
