label reading confusion!

[firecracker]

I'm on Atkins and thought I did well in choosing a frozen goody for myself, but now I'm wondering...

Can someone explain how to read the dang label?!?

I have this Blue Bunny Health Smart, Splenda-sweetened fruit bar. The label says:

Total Carb: 17g
Fiber: 0g
Sugars: 2g
Sorbitol: 3g

So, do I count 2g of carbs for the sugar, or do I count 17g minus 3g of sorbitol for 14g?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm new at this.

Those who are not sensitive to the carbs in sugar alcohols can subtract that amount from the total. Be careful, though sugar alcohols can knock you out of ketosis. You should know soon.

Total carbs=17 - 3 gms from Sorbitol= 14 net grams of carbs.

Pretty hefty carb cost. Was it yummy?
