Hello all!

I have a question. I was puting in info for a protein bar with net carbs and I noticed under Sugar Alcohols it had 'Other Carbs'. Anyone have an idea if it pertains to net carbs or just considered carbs? I didn't subtract it bc I wasn't sure.

Thanks :)

    From what I've researched, "other carbs" usually fall into a starch category. Carbs have the break down of fibers, sugars, and starches. Generally, "other sugars" will be like sugar alcohol unless otherwise specified. Fibers can be broken up into soluble or insoluble. Starch is all that is left. :)
