    Fiber and carbs ?
    on: 2013-10-27 15:22:25
    Hi I was just wondering if you count fiber carbs towards your total carb intake for the day. For example say I take a fiber supplement powder that lists 11 carbs and 11 fiber. Would I count 22 carbs towards my total carb in take for the day ? Or would that count as 0 ?

    If you are using a fiber supp, which I would highly suggest, especially in the contest diet season, you do not need to count those fibrous carbs into your total allowance. Fiber will help to keep your stomach flat, keeping you regular and pushing food through your system as quickly as possible. I would put fiber in my top 5 supps to use while dieting.
