I don't recommend including your vegetable carbohydrates in the formula for the carbs.

And I'm going to tell you why.

On average, one cup of leafy greens is 1.5 grams of carbohydrate, okay.

Now, if we minus the fiber, which is 1 gram, we get 0.5 grams of net carbs, okay.

So we're dealing with a half of a gram.
