🍬 Carb to Sugar Conversion Calculator
Convert total carbohydrates to sugar equivalents in teaspoons, tablespoons, grams & ounces
Net Carbs: Fiber and sugar alcohols are subtracted because they are not fully digested. Net Carbs = Total Carbs – Fiber – (Sugar Alcohols × 0.5). The sugar alcohol factor of 0.5 reflects partial absorption.

Every four grams of carb turn in your body almost to one teaspoon of sugar. Here the figure that I remember during my runs. One flat bagel with 56 grams of total carb match around 13 and half of teaspoons…
Truly surprisingly filling, when one truly measure.
Food Carbs and Changing to Carburetors
Fiber fully changes the situation. Average apple stores 25 grams of carb, but with 4.4 grams of fiber, the net drops to about 20.6 grams; say around five teaspoons instead of six. The AHA limits the added sugar to 25 grams for females and 36 grams for men daily, so six and nine teaspooons.
One cup of cooked white rice with 45 grams beats both limits alone.
The info below does not come from any calculator or translation device. It bases on actual using experiences, forum talks and cooking groups across the net.
Changing engine with fuel injection to carburetor are fully real. There exist converters from fuel injection to carburetor, that delivers almost everything needed for exchange the original injection system. One commonly chooses such change because of its simplicity, low cost and desire have more traditional or vintage engine setup.
Great reason for convert EFI-engine to carburetor is the look. One could simply change the whole engine, but weather only the conversion keeps that classic look? Some folks simply do not like the sight of wiring, that feeds in the engine.
Besides that, few folks in the world truly know, how to find and settle problems of fuel injection, when they appear. Such troubles push many to carburetors.
Some kits for carburetor conversion, as those of Weber, arrive with clear guide and adapters for the intake manifold. It matters to ensure, that the parts are well sealed, install vacuum reservoir spread by the most of the exhaust system and add new lines for fuel to the close control, that comes with the carburetor.
The ease of the conversion depend on that, whether there once existed carburetor version of that particular engine. Older engines with fuel injection, that yet has available parts, ease the task. The computer will ask for info from sensors, that will go during the change, and here start the tricky parts.
One needs new intake manifold, that accepts carburetor, and it will have to have hole for the sensor. Also new system for deliver fuel are needed, whether by means of install of ready control or buying of low-close pump.
EFI widely beats in performance and efficiency. Many EFI-systems now cost under thousand dollars, so choosing carburetors become more personal taste or need for vintage vehicles. Conversions to carburetor can pass exhaust tests of tailpipe, if one installs and sets them right.
In the motorcycle side, conversions to single carburetors are liked because of the pure look and simpler setup. Mikuni TM 30 or TM 40-flatside are usual choices. Even so, changing to one carburetor on multi-cylinder motorcycle has downsides.
Between them is the cost of the conversion, decrease of max performance and low value for collectors. Carburetors of cars, as Holley, do not usually well work across the broad range of RPM for motorcycles. Special adapters with such manifolds can cause gaps inthe performance between rolls.
Well used CV-carburetors sell for around hundred dollars, giving or taking fifty. Some favor carburetors, because they like self fix and escape tuners with computers. Well installed Webers can impress also.
