Eggs: Carbs or no?

So I have seen mixed entries for eggs. Some say 1 carb, some say 0. The eggs I have in my fridge say 0 carbs according to their nutritional label. Should I consider that label to be a filthy liar, or are eggs legit 0 carbs? They're large eggs if that helps.

    I think the precise amount is 0.6g carb per large egg. If it's less than one, they can put 0 on the label.

    Yes, there is a very marginal amount of carbohydrate in an egg. I usually have large eggs, so I typically count them as 1.

    Don't sweat on 0.5g carb per egg. Enjoy the eggs, they hardly alter your insulin levels to worry about the carbs in them.

    Agreed, the benefits they provide far outweigh the .6 grams of carbs per egg
