| You go with the count in CARBOHYDRATES. Most of us DON'T subtract the sugars, although the manufacturers do, cause it makes them look better. and yes, the numbers listed are for a serving size. If there were FIBER listed, you can subtract that from the Carbohydrate number to get net carbs. net carbs = Carbs - fiber (no matter what the front of the container says)

| Chances are, the "sugars" listed for both the heavy cream and the sour cream are naturally-occurring milk sugars--not added sugar. This would account for the .3 and 1.2 listed as Carbohydrate gms for these products. Just count .3 or 1.2 once per serving size. |

| Hi thanks for explaining that as I was worried that it meant I couldn't eat the food with sugar in it.. I must be counting properly so I will just keep going the way I have been and see how I go... Thanks again. |
