You are supposed to enter Total Carbs, not Net Carbs in the carbs box and Fiber in the Fiber box. The formula they use is:
(fat x 9) + ((carbs - fiber) x 4) + (protein x 4) + (alcohol x 7)
Since sugar alcohols and glycerine have neither 0, 4 nor 7 kcal/g, anything with sugar alcohols or glycerine will throw it off...No matter what you list the polyols and glycerine as. That said, what I do is enter the serving size [with bars] as 0.01 servings and then divide all the numbers on the label by 100, subtracting the Polyols and Glycerine from the carb count, and placing them under "Alcohols." I leave the Fiber in the carb count and list the fiber under "Fiber." If the serving size is small enough it will accept it, because it is only off by less than 1 calorie.
