induction mayo question

[Loewen]

KRAFT real Mayo also lists 0 carbs, but I'm sure that just means 0.(point) something. Has anyone heard anything different.

any questions about "0" carb items can be solved here: Low Carb Diet Tools - Hidden-Carbs Calculator. OR you can just add 1 carb for the item and be covered.

If there is sugar listed as an ingredient then there will be 'some' carbs in it.

As they are allowed to claim zero for something with less than 0.5 then maybe count each serving as being at least a third of one carb.

These are the ingredients in Kraft Real Mayo:

Ingredients: SOYBEAN OIL, WATER, EGGS, EGG YOLKS, VINEGAR, CONTAINS LESS THAN 2% OF SUGAR, SALT, LEMON JUICE CONCENTRATE, CALCIUM DISODIUM EDTA AS A PRESERVATIVE, DRIED GARLIC, DRIED ONIONS, SPICE, NATURAL FLAVOR. CONTAINS: EGG

Eggs (and egg yolks), vinegar, sugar, lemon juice, garlic, onion, spices... they all contain carbs. As Elizellen said, if it's less than 0.5 they are allowed to write a big fat zero on the package. It will not make a big difference in your carb intake if you only eat one serving, but eat more and the carbs will add up quickly.

Wow, you guys are smart! I use Hellman's too and so far so good. JulieB, I didn't realize that fact about the companies rounding down, good point, I'll watch for that, thanks. I think I'm more concerned with getting enough carbs from vegies, but Atkins is so much fun, it doesn't bother me, figuring things out. This is my 1st week of induction and I weigh-in tomorrow morning. I have also started an acct at Fitday.
