Default Carb - Fibre question...

Hi all

On day 11 of my Atkins diet - have lost 10lbs so far!

The other night I cooked a boxed meal (from Morrisons) of 2 chicken breasts
stuffed with mushrooms in a caramelised red wine sauce. It was very nice!

I'm a bit puzzled though, my Atkins food list deducts fibre from total carbs
to give net carbs - of which I should eat 20 of in the first stage, yes?

Well... this boxed meal had, per 100g:

carbs 1.6g (of which sugar 1.3g)
fibre 2.5g

making the net carbs -0.9g (a minus amount of carbs???)

How does that work then?
