I like how Weight Watchers differentiates carbs from various sources in its PointsPlus program; even though a banana or an apple are technically "carb-heavy" they are zero points - but I know I can't eat my weight in them either because there are calories to consider. I also recognize they are a "good carb," whereas others are "bad carbs". But here at Fat Secret they are all in one category as "carbs" - why is this? Are they not metabolized differently? Is eating 100 carbs of a banana the exact same as eating 100 carbs of white sliced bread?

You are so right about the carbs being different, but it I guess it is too difficult for one database to accommodate all WOEs. For example, according to the Glycemic Index, an apple would be a much better choice than a a banana.

I really don't know about the carbs in banana's verses white bread. I guess I need to do some research this weekend and see what I can find out. I have noticed that my carbs are high on the chart, when I record my food everyday. But I think like you said, there are good carbs and bad carbs. I do hope that a banana is considered a good carb, I love them!!
