Actually I'm supposed to eat about 4 cups of salad a day. :-/
The fiber apparently is subtracted from the total, and lettuce is fairly low-carb anyway.
WHoops, back up: Fiber is a carbohydrate BUT it inhibits carb absorption ? something like that so
Total carbs minus carbs from fiber = net carbohydrates.
So if lettuce has 2 grams of carbs but 1 gram of it is fiber, the net carbohydrate count for a serving of lettuce would be 1 gram.
