[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2340444, member: 527103"] Hi [USER=532971]@Choosehappy[/USER] I'm guessing your food journal is from America. Over there, they include fiber in the total carbs whereas, in the UK, food labels exclude fibre from the total carbs. So, provided you are not buying food from the US, you do not need to subtract the fibre. Technically, fibre is carbohydrate so, from a chemistry perspective, the Americans are more accurate. But because we do not digest it, so, from a British perspective, it is easier to just ignore. [/QUOTE]
