I know that a lot of labels, especially protein bars, use a "net carb" count for total glycemic load or sugar content. This is total carbs minus fibre usually.
How relevant is this number? Not just in a protein bar but in general. I add psyllium husk to nearly all my whey shakes and meals and it is usually between 10-15g fibre I am adding. Does this "cancel out" any and all carbs up to 15g in terms of the glycemic response they would produce?
