Thread: Garlic carb content?

Can't find carb count for garlic in Atkin's New Revolution book. Can anyone enlighten me on this?

Garlic has 4 net carbs per tablespoon. 4.3 total, .3 fiber.

My book has garlic listed as 0.9 per clove.

Yes, mine too. I always add 1 carb per clove but you can get the flavor without the carbs by flavoring the oil with a clove of garlic chopped and then removing it. But I rarely do that. Garlic is too good for you to worry about it's carbs.,

Thanks, I needed that! I really have been worrying about carbs--especially after reading the post that those low-carb bars actually have 18-21, when I thought they only had 2.5--yikes! It's no wonder I didn't lose anything last time--LOL! I'm trying to be meticulous this time! ;-)

My carb count is for one tablespoon of minced garlic - count comes right off the jar.. So.. 4 cloves must make about 1 tablespoon.
