Some Foods with “Hidden” Carbs
* Cream — 0.6 grams per ounce
* Cheddar Cheese — 0.5 grams per ounce
* Swiss Cheese — 0.9 grams per ounce
* Eggs — 0.6 grams each (large egg)
* Sugar-Free Jello (mix) — 1 gram per 1/2 cup serving
(maltodextrin)
* Sugar-Free Tang — 1 gram per cup (maltodextrin)
* Coffee — 0.7 grams per cup
* Metamucil — 2 grams per serving; not counting fiber
(maltodextrin)
* Artificial Sweeteners — 1 gram per packet (dextrose or
maltodextrin)
One additional point — although not technically “hidden” because the
carb count is contained on the label, many people mistakenly believe
that just because it’s meat, it must be carb-free. That is not always
the case. Highly-processed meats, like hot dogs and lunch meats, contain
carbohydrates.
For example…
* Deli Ham — 1 to 3 grams per 2-oz serving
* Deli Turkey — 1 to 3 grams per 2-oz serving
* Deli Beef — 1 gram per 2-oz serving
* Hot dogs — 1 to 4 grams per dog
* Spam — 1/2 gram per serving
* Smoked Sausage — 4 grams per serving
