Concerning coconut milk

[Guest guest]

Boy, this has me confused. I happen to have three cans of coconut milk in my

cupboard, all different brands. Here is what it says: Aroy-D brand-- Total Carbs

2g. Sugars less than 1g., Dietary fiber--0g. Trader Joes brand-- Total carbs

less than 1g. Sugars 0g. Dietary fiber 0 (this one is light--50% less fat than

regular). Last is A Taste of Thai, Light coconut milk--Total carb 3g, Sugars 0g,

Dietary fiber 0g. It sure sounds OK to me. It is less than 6 grams, isn't that

what is recommended on the veggie list? Even if I drank some of it, which I have

not yet on the diet, I would not drink a whole cup. I would probably drink 1/4

of a can, which would barely even be any sugar carbs. Where is everyone getting

the high carb and sugar grams from? Is it the fit day calculations. Are the cans

decieving us? Val

listed has 13.3g but almost 5.3g of fiber for a net impact of 8g/cup -

right about where the original poster was thinking.
