I switched over to LS from Keto. I am looking at the carbs on the rye bread it says only 2 carbs for 2 slices of bread. I don’t think the carb counter is working.
Hi, BluffGirl. What you’re seeing are “exchanges,” which are meal building blocks used by dietetic associations around the world. The approximate translations to gram amounts are as follows:
1 carbohydrate exchange = 15 grams of carbohydrates + up to 3 grams of protein
1 protein exchange = 7 grams of protein + up to 5 grams of fat
1 fat exchange = 5 grams of fat
1 fruit exchange = 15 grams of carbohydrates
1 vegetable exchange = 5 grams of carbohydrates + up to 2 grams of protein
1 sweet exchange = up to 15 grams of carbohydrates + up to 5 grams of fat
1 free exchange = up to 5 grams of carbohydrates or up to 2 grams of protein or fat
