Use the ranges given below to convert a food's carbohydrate
content to its equivalent in Carbohydrate Servings.
Grams (G) Carbohydrate
Carbohydrate Servings
0-5 ................0
6-10................1/2
11-20...............1
21-25...............1 1/2
26-35...............2
36-40...............2 1/2
41-50...............3
51-55...............3 1/2
56-65...............4
Note: If a food contains 5 or more grams of dietary fiber per
serving, subtract that number from the Total Carbohydrate
grams. For example, a 38-gram carbohydrate portion with 5 grams
of fiber would count as 38-5=33 grams. This would make it
equivalent to 2 Carbohydrate Servings instead of 2 1/2.
