What are the “available” or “net” carbs in the NUTRILITE Whey Protein Bar?
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not have a recognized definition for “available” or “net” carbs. Depending on your carb counting plan, there are a couple of ways to calculate them in the NUTRILITE Whey Protein Bar:

1. The most common method is to subtract the amount of fiber and sugar alcohol (including glycerin) from the total carbohydrate amount. Using this definition, one NUTRILITE Whey Protein Bar provides 13–15 grams of net carbs.
2. A low amount of net carbs does not guarantee that a food product will have zero effect on blood sugar levels. Also, with the exception of fiber, a low amount of net carbs does not guarantee a total lack of carbohydrate absorption. As such, the American Diabetes Association recommends that sugar alcohols (including glycerin) count as a half, rather than zero carb. Using this recommendation, one NUTRILITE Whey Protein Bar provides 19–20 grams of net carbs.

Use Instructions: NUTRILITE® Whey Protein Bars can be consumed anytime you are looking for a post-workout snack to help build muscle. For maximum impact, consume 30–60 minutes after your workout.
