Macros

I’m trying to keep track of my macros ... never realized almond milk has 16 grams of carbs!

Mine sure doesn't, even if I drink the entire litre in one sitting.

I may be looking at the label wrong but my almond milk has 1g of carbs per serving (1cup)? 0g sugar?

double check your almond milk VS the entry you chose in MFP.

It does when you drink sweetened almond milk. The two posters above me are referring to unsweetened almond milk which has 1 to 2g of carbs per serving.

Okay, you likely just used an entry that was different in the database.

You have to check each food you use against the label and/or with whole foods find a reliable database to check against, like the USDA.

Also, ‘almond milk’ is not really almond milk unless you make your own.

Please explain your reasoning? What are you referring to here?

It's basically water filtered through almonds, not milk. That's why it's only 30 cals per cup. I love the stuff! I go through a gallon of Almond Brreeze Unsweetened Original per week. It's the only "milk" I drink.

I g of carb per cup.

Wow, I didn't know that. 😕

Ugh, me neither! 😯

Although I’ve wondered from time to time about the paradox of calories in almonds and almond milk! It’s the only milk I use too, for the low calories. Thank you for the clarification!

i did almond milk myself and it was awful, not the tastiest bunch.
