Question

"low-carb" bars?

I bought some "low-carb" bars because I'm extremely busy during the day and don't have to eat--period. Since I get really hungry during they day, I used to take some granola bars, but since those are like, pure carb, i bought these low- carb bars.

They are nasty as all get out. But, they seem to make you very un-hungry (they're so dense... like star matter or something) I can tolerate it.

My question is: on the front of the package it says "4g of Impact carbs", but on the nutrional label it says 18 total. Okay, so here's the WHOLE nutrional label:

Fat: 7g
Sodium: 230mg
Potassium: 170mg
Total Carb: 18g
Dietary Fiber: 2g
Sugars: 1g
Other Carbs: 15g
Protein: 25g

How are they deriving the "4g of impact carbs"? Am I wasting my time and money(and carbs??) on these nasty little abominations of food?
