Fiber Source (Corn Bran, crude)
We all know how important fiber is to any diet. But many foods that contain fiber also bring with it carbs and if you are on Atkins, Keto or any low-carb diet every gram of carbs counts.
I was also very courious and wanted to see if there were any foods that were almost all fiber. Thats when I came across Corn Bran:
1 cup of Corn Bran (crude) contains:
170 Calories
6 Cals. from Fat
5mg Sodium
33mg Potassium
65g Carbohydrates
65g Diatery Fiber
6g Protein
So the question here is:
If you only count NET CARBS (carbs-fiber=net carbs) and Corn Bran has 65g of each doesnt this mean you are in fact consuming 65g of fiber and 0 Net Carbs?
And so cant someone on Keto or Atkins use Corn Bran as a pure source of fiber without worrying about carbs?
For all you Keto dieters: where do you get your fiber from?
