When you are counting carbs and calories should you count Sugar Alcohols?

I always see these as saying zero net carbs. I am confused about this one. :lol:

sugar alcohols are from fruit.

So should you count them as carbs and kcal, while bulking and cutting?

I have read that you shouldn't, but just want to make sure. I have been counting them as it helps me get the desired amount of carbs and kcals I need each day.

Count them. The whole sugar alcohol thing came along as part of the Atkin's craze... more and more there is thinking that your body doesn't ignore them as the advertising claims.

they don't produce an insulin spike, but they are still stored as fat if not used; so yes, count them. actually the calories listed in the label should already reflect them
