Net-effective carbohydrates are counted in carb control weight loss plans. “Net carbs” are calculated by subtracting sugar alcohols and fibre from total carbohydrates. For example, a 40g (35-bean) serving of No Added Sugar Jelly Belly has 37g of total carbohydrates. To calculate the net effective carbs, subtract sugar alcohols (25g) and fiber (8g) to arrive at 4g net carbs (37g total carbs -25g sugar alcohols -8g fiber = 4 net carbs).
