Ah HA!

I think I see a pattern here. Apparently the reason I am getting such high "Actual Carb" counts is that I do not check off the little box to the left of the fiber line.

The instructions say"
Only fill this out, if the manufacturer stated that the fiber was subtracted before calculating the calorie/energy value of the food, and is not included in the carbs listed

Since it appeared that FlaxOmeal DID include the fiber in the total calorie count, I've been leaving the box empty and putting in the amount of fiber. How 'bout it moderator, have I been doing it wrong? phil C
