Smile net carbs vs. total carbs

Hello everyone, I am new to this so bare with me. I have been on lowcarb since 2nd feb. I have lost 11lbs. I really really like it. I am constantly trying new recipes to keep it exciting. I live in Ireland and find it very hard if not impossible ot find anything low in sugar! My mother lives in CA and has just sent me the Atkins blueberry muffin mix. I am confused at the carb count. It says it has 9 g total carb but the net carbs are only 3g because the fibre count is 6g. Has anyone any info on this? Does this mean that in all foods you would subtract the fibre count from the total carb count to get the NET carbs? I have been counting my carbs religiously and this would make a BIG difference to me. Thanks to anyone who has any info! Hope I wasn't long winded! Bye for now
