Default what kind of unit is a "carb"

I'm seeing these references on the boob tube about fast food items
that "only have 3 carbs" etc.

Hey, I paid attention in science class, I know the definitions of
calorie, kilo calorie, BTU, and the like. I also know that complex
carbos are good for you.

However, I don't know what is represented by "3 carbs" and I would
like to know if this:

a. A real unit of measure.
b. An Atkins pseudo-unit
c. A teevee land fakeO-unit.

Thank you, Thank you very much.
