The total carbohydrate content of the food includes starch or compound carbohydrates, which provide energy for your body.
They are important calorie sources in cereals such as bread, rice and oatmeal; legumes;
There are potatoes, yam, green beans, corn and other vegetables.
4 calories per gram of starch, like sugar.
While food manufacturers must list calories, fat, carbohydrates, fibers and sugar on the food label, the amount of starch per food is not mandatory information.
Find the total amount of carbohydrates on the nutrition fact label on the food package.
The total carbohydrate content is usually listed below the fat, sodium and cholesterol levels.
If you want to calculate the starch content, find the grams of carbohydrates and ignore the percentage daily value.
If the food does not have a nutrition fact label, look for this information using an online source.
For example, the label of canned red kidney beans shows that 1 cup contains 40 grams of total carbohydrates, including 14 grams of fiber and 5 grams of sugar.
Subtract fiber from total carbohydrate count.
The result is a net amount of carbohydrates in a service.
Net carbohydrates are equivalent to the amount of carbohydrates that can improve blood sugar levels.
In other words, net carbohydrates are equivalent to the amount of sugar and starch in each food.
In the case of canned red kidney beans, 14 grams of fiber were subtracted from 40 grams of total carbohydrates and 26 grams of net carbohydrates were obtained.
Minus sugar.
Net carbohydrates include sugar and starch, which means that subtracting sugar will allow you to get the starch content of your food.
Take canned red kidney beans as an example, subtract 5 grams of sugar from 26 grams of net carbs, which gives you 21 grams of starch.
Adjust according to the amount you eat.
The result of this calculation tells you how many grams of starch are in each food.
This service is always listed at the top of the nutrition fact label.
In the case of canned red kidney beans, serve 1 cup. If you eat one-
Half or two cups, adjust the starch intake accordingly.
