vienna sausage canned....are they allowed on induction since they are meat i was unsure since they show on fit day to have 2.1 carbs per 4oz can.

You will need to check the list of ingredients to make sure they only contain stuff listed on the allowed foods list.

Fitday might give different numbers than what is on the can - if so you need to enter it as a custom food using the manufacturer's info to be accurate.

So would i go by fitday which shows 2.1 carbs per 4oz can for vienna sausage or what the lable says on the can which is 0 carbs?

You will probably note the 0 carbs is not for the whole can, which should be 5 oz not 4, nonetheless.... the fact is, the USDA allows a label to round down a whole number of grams to a zero if the actual amount per serving size is under 1/2 gram!

So, if 1 no-name vienna link has .49g, they call it a serving with 0g carbs.

A libby's can has 7 links, I believe, and a total of 2.1g carbs, which works out to about 1g for every 3 links, assuming you have the kind without sauce or fillers. (Such as BBQ or mustard sauce, or other brands like Prairie (?) )

Ok, that makes sense. thanks
