The low carb option is about 2 NET carbs per serving. I am not providing a label for nutrition facts as serving size and quantity can vary too much. I suggest adding your ingredients with your exact yield into an app like MyFitnessPal. 

Note-  The ingredients list looks long, however most of it is seasonings and the list includes both the meatballs and the sauce.
