Atkins people - Fitday question

[Rhonda]

Has anyone entered an Atkins Advantage bar into Fitday yet? If so, what did you enter for the carbs? The one the bar says (e.g., 21 carbs) or the Net Carb count (3)?

If I enter it the way it says on the label (21) it tells me that my bar I had for breakfast is 26% of my total carbs for the day!

I think I should enter it as 3 carbs. What have you done?

I usually enter the 3 carbs for total carbs, so that my percentages of fat, carbs & protein will work out right.

Good - that's what I just did too.

The only catch was - I had to enter 0 for fiber count (instead of 9), otherwise fitday wouldn't accept it. It told me that the carb count had to be higher than the fiber count.

Yeah, that happened with me, too. I just figure I don't really need to know how much fiber I'm getting. If I do, I just add it up myself for the day. What I am really looking for is Fat/Protein/Carb percentages.
