Do we really count a carb for an egg?

I thought eggs were zero carbs. In the Atkins Quick-Start Guide, the sample meals show that 2 eggs have 2 net carbs.

The USDA Nutrient Database says there are .36 carbs (grams) in 1 large egg.

I really thought we should count eggs as zero!

What is correct?

Thanks!
