I was wondering if anyone would know how much a can of green beans is in carbs? I know you have to do something with the dietary fiber to figure the right amount for a whole can. I ate my low carb chicken salad and a can of green beans for lunch, hope I didn't over do it. Thanks, Kristin S.
Kristin,
Take the total carbs minus the fiber, and that will equal the net carbs, or ECC (essential carbs that count). If you ate the whole can, then multiply the number of servings times the net carbs, and that will tell you how many carbs the green beans had

Hi –
I have a can right here that has 3.5 servings per can. That would total 14 carbs minus the fiber of 7 carbs for a total of NET 7 carbs per can.
I imagine different brands vary but yours was probably close to that.
That’s a little high for induction but if you’re on OWL, that’s fine. After induction (if you’re doing Atkins) you almost can’t eat too many green veggies. They are very good for you.
