Just wanted to take a moment and say thanks for the support on my weigh in yesterday. I really appreciate it.
I do have a few questions while I'm here.
In light of my last post I think a few things are deceiving and I was wondering if I may have missed something in the recording of my food entries.
Sugar V. Sugar Alcohol.
There's no place to edit the two. It's all in one lump. There are some nutrition labels that will distinguish the two.. or they will add the (**) symbol beside Sugar to indicate that something is different.
However, either I'm missing something or FS has some serious updating to do.
I can't seem to edit the sugar labels in order to be more accurate in what's actually a carb and what's not.
When I say Carb I should say something that actually has an effect on glucose levels verses something that does not... i.e. sugar alcohol.
I also think that Fiber should also play a larger role in the Fat, Carb, Protein pie chart. I personally use the pie chart as a quick glance to see how things are stacking up.. it does come in handy. I just wished it would include fiber since I'm really aiming for net carbs (glucose).
Yes, I know that right beside the pie chart is a list and all I have to do is look at the complete listing and I could figure it out.
I'm just in a fight for more fiber and think it should be included. Especially since other apps seem to put a little more predominance into calculating nutrition.
Again, this is probably a me problem but I just wanted to vent a minute and see what the rest of you were looking at when you did your calculations.
As always thoughts appreciated.

If you look into it, sugar alcohols are roughly still 50% absorbed into your system. So 20g of alcohols, you will get 10g. They still affect your blood glucose. Not as much as take sugar, but they still do. While fasting, that's one reason only water or black coffee is usually allowed, since it will affect your glucose and break a fast. I did low carb for a long time, I would eat quest bars etc from time to time as a treat, but they would stall my weight loss if I had one a day. I was part of a website for a long time with only low carb people, and sugar alcohols and dairy were the number one cause of stalls.. Hope this helps a little.

very few people have no effect from sugar alcohols it is not free as Cb points out. everyone of the artificial sugars can have an effect on you. there are video's online showing people testing their blood after taking a dose to show people.

Wow! Thank you Cb and Baskington.
Proof there's always something to learn.
I appreciate the info So much. I shared a couple of these with my mom who is a diabetic for a treat.
Glad I only bought 1 box of 4. They will just have to last a while. Before I consider buying another box.
Will just have to experiment and see what happens.

Yeah definitely the fake sugars aka alcohols will effect many people. They do me! I stay away from all sugars.

Fiber can be shown but not on the pie chart. Go to settings on your pc, choose which of the list you want. The phone app probably doesn't show as much. I do try to avoid sugar alcohols because they really effect my digestion. Does get things moving :)
