It depends what plan you're on. Protein Power subtracts carbs, Atkins doesn't. Some of us are doing a sort of 'hybrid' PP and Atkins, in which we basically follow Atkins, but subtract fibre (the plans are very similar). If you're just starting out, though, I'd strongly suggest doing Atkins to the letter, and NOT subtracting fibre until you're more of an 'old hand.' Otherwise, it may get confusing.
