Ecc

What does this mean. Sorry, still quite new.

I know its suppose to do with Carbs. Is it the net carbs?

Thanks.

Hi Moretta. It is "Effective Carb Count" (Carbs - dietary fiber). This is the amount of carbs that will be ingesting by the body of a particular food.

Ex. Lettuce has 4g carbs and 3g dietery fiber. That means it has 1g ECC, so you only count 1g in your daily totals.

Hope that made sense!

yes,

net carbs = ECC
