Sometimes they have already deducted the fiber, they always do in Canada and
England.

| 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?

I'm in Canada and they DO NOT pre-subtract fibre from the total carbs on
labels.
