Simple & complex carbs.

junii · 2006-09-11 11:10:10

Just wondering about... the way on the nutrition label on the back of foods. When it says for example 70g of carbs and then underneath "of which sugars" maybe 5g. Is that 5g simple carbs and the remaining 65g complex? Thanks.

Pretty much, in the US fibre is included too. In general, carb sources with more fibre are absorbed slower so look out for that too.
