Gelatin is made from collagen from animal skin and bones - it's basically protein, so no carbohydrate content.
Agar agar (from red seaweed), carrageenan (from red seaweed), pectin (from citrus fruits & apples etc), konjac (from tropical Asian plant) and guar gum (from guar beans) are all vegetarian alternatives to gelatin.
