that black pepper has 4 grabs a carbs for 1 tbsp! is this true? lol this seems bizarre!!! Made some "Chicken strips" (pork rines, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper) and for 1 serving it was 19.2g, i guess spices are dangerous!!??
2 tsp of black pepper is 2.72 grams of carbs MINUS the 1.11 grams of dietary fiber making it's true net carbs count 1.61 carbs per 2 tsp.. I think pepper is ok.
2 Chicken Breasts (no skin no bone) cut into 12 pieces
3oz of pork skins (smashed)
1tbsp pepper
1tbsp onion powder
1tbsp garlic powder
Then I coated the chicken pieces, the counter I used said that if i have 6 pieces its 19.2 grams

seems high..
i think you need to take the recipe and divide in half, ignoring the fact that you had 6 pieces (really you had one breast, with half the spices.)
And also, ground black pepper never made anyone overweight, no matter how much of it they ate.
are you on a particular plan that requires you to count the minutia of spices like this? I mean, any plan that makes you think "spices are dangerous!" seem questionable.
I didn't get to be overweight from too much pepper, and I'm guessing you didn't either. Focusing on spices seems like misguided energy.
i that was more of a "OMG I didnt realize" then an actual belief, i had just never put together that some spices are that high in carb, i am not counting them, was just more of a thought process and thought i would share on here.

ah, it is cool when you start to realize what's in the stuff we eat. I guess I just never eat enough spices to have ever thought to look them up! Those do sound really tasty though.
it was sooo good, kinda like a chicken strip really the only carbs in it were from the seasoning and i totally get that no one got fat from pepper!! its just crazy how much i have realized what i am putting in my body when i am watching the carbs!!! I am more worried about the starchy carbs and what will turn into sugar!
Rememeber that there is MORE to spices than just carbs, etc. Black pepper has amazing health benefits that are much more important than looking carbs, or whatever. '

for some of its benefits. I only recently learned about it, my mom would always tell me not to use a lot of pepper becuase it's bad.. well, she was clearly wrong, haha.
