[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 505279, member: 12578"] Agree with Avocado about noting the spelling but also, US labels are by the serving size, European by the 100g. US say Carbs with fiber underneath as it is part of the Carb count. In Europe the fibre is placed separately. (might complicate things if your product came from somewhere like Australia!) As to Fitday, it is a minefield. Much of the data is crowd sourced, people from all over the world put in figures, copying from the label in their own country. The result is that some figures for carbs include fibre others don't. If you use one of these trackers and use only 'generic' data then it probably comes from the USDA data base and so has fiber included with the carbs.
