No

fiber.

ya I was reading the back of one of the brands I get here.....5 grams
of carbs and 5 grams of fiber so that cancels the carbs out on the
seeds. That's for 1/4 cup of seeds.

I'm not on Induction anymore but I keep my carbs between 30 and 40
grams a day. I just got too fatigued staying on Induction levels for
some weird reason. I add a tablespoon of raw (not roasted) sunflower
seeds daily to my salad or to my veggies.

I also have flaxseed cereal in the mornings.

Nope. The fiber has already been subtracted on that label. No free foods

Wow. I get 3 net carbs for 1/4 cup. What brand did you find?

I too get 3 grams net carbs for 1/4 cup. I have checked 9 brands and they
are all the same, but then sunflower seeds are sunflower seeds no matter
what brand you buy.

I was trying to be nice by having the OP read the label again. ;-)
