It would not be mathematically possible to add enough oil to Carbalose flour to make a mixture that is 2 net carbs per 1/3 cup, while still having more flour than oil.

The labels are the same in real life as on the site. <br /><br />The mix probably has more oil making up the weight hence less carbs from the flour.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17384082448952856117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30206473.post-3676497602722393622010-02-20T12:57:53.365-05:002010-02-20T12:57:53.365-05:00Well yes, I did adjust for portion size.
