Question

Brianna’s doctors advise her to eat no more than 30 grams of carbohydrates per day for her snacks. Because dietary fiber doesn’t negatively affect blood sugar levels, she doesn’t need to count it toward her carbohydrate total. If Brianna eats two servings of each of these foods, will she fall under her doctor’s recommended limit for her snack? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Answer:

No, her dietary consumption won’t fall under the recommended limit. Subtracting fiber, there are 11 grams of carbohydrates per serving in the first snack and 5 grams per serving for the second snack. If she eats two servings of each snack, she’ll consume 32 grams of carbohydrates.
