Q
do fibers count towards carbs
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Fibers are categorized under carbohydrates but are treated differently when it comes to their impact on your body. Unlike other carbs that are broken down into sugar molecules, fiber cannot be digested by your body. Therefore, while they technically count towards the total carb count on nutritional labels, the effect fibers have is distinct. Dietary fibers can be soluble (dissolving in water to form a gel-like material) or insoluble (promoting the movement of material through your digestive system). Given their indigestibility, fibers are often subtracted from the total carbs to calculate 'net carbs,' which is a more accurate reflection of a food's carbohydrate content that can affect blood sugar levels. This is particularly important for individuals following low-carb diets or managing diabetes, as fibers offer the benefits without the spike in blood sugar that digestible carbs would contribute.
