Default Oatmeal on Atkins..

I am trying to figure out if I can eat McCaNN's Irish Oatmeal (Steel Cut)...

I am looking on adding a different source of fibre while on Atkins.

When I try to go through the Nutritional Facts, I can see no way of eating the Oatmeal, the carb count is too high.

Am I reading it wrong, because a lot of people on this board refer to eating Oatmeal.

The breakdown is as follows:

Total Calories 150
Calories From Fat 20

Total Fat 2 g 3%
Saturated Fat 0 g 0%
Polyunsaturated Fat 1 g
Monounsaturated Fat 1 g

Cholesterol 0 mg 0%
Sodium 0 mg 0%

Total Carbohydrates 26 g 9%
Dietary Fiber 4 g 15%
Soluble Fiber 2 g
Insoluble Fiber 2 g
Sugars 0 g

Protein 4 g

(reference for this info located here:
http://www.netrition.com/mccanns_oats_page.html)

So if I read this correctly (under Atkins) 26g - 4g (fibre) = 22g.

I dont see any way of allocating 22g to breakfast...

Am I doing something wrong?
