Serving size for raspberries (and blueberries) is 1/4 cup according to DANDR p. 174. I never thought of it before (just went by this serving size) but this is 5g total carbs (not net). I think I need to read more about the power of five again.

Enjoy your raspberries.

You can look up in the USDA database how many raspberries (or any other berries) make up 5 net carbs: http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/.

My suggestion would be to go by weight (or, at least, by volume), rather than number of berries. Especially when you eat something like strawberries, for example.

Interesting!!

When I looked up the nutritional info on the internet before I posted, it was saying 100 grams of raspberries was 12 carbs, but had 7 grams of fibre - so obviously equaled 5 net carbs...but I thought I did remember the whole 1/4 cup thing. When I read about 1 cup of raspberries it was only 123 grams. So you can see my conundrum!!

Anyway - I'll just stick with the 1/4 cup, I'm sure once I plug it into fitday it'll all work out well.

Thanks so much!! I AM SO EXCITED!!!!

That's what I thought so what's up with the Power of Five in DANDR (p. 174) with the serving sizes that are 5g total carbs? I've been using the serving sizes on that page for my OWL foods.

Decadence.

Pure bliss.

I love feeling that way when I re-introduce foods to my diet.

I kept to the 1/4 cup - it was plenty anyway. I had 14 raspberries. I just wanted it as a bedtime snack because I was SOOO desperate to have them. They don't last long in the fridge, so I'm going to have to share since I can't have any today, lol.

Simple perfection.
