Now, my string cheese says 0 carbs, but should I be counting each one as 1 gram of carb?

Now, my string cheese says 0 carbs, but should I be counting each one as 1 gram of carb?

Yes, you should count it as 1. The rules for manufacturers are that if it's under 5 calories they can say zero on the label. If it's under 1 gram for protein, fat, or carbs, they can say zero on the label.

Also, where are your veggies? It's super important to be eating at least 3 cups of them per day.
