Default Mild Vent

I hate it, hate it, hate it when a product already takes the fiber out of the total carb count, and doesn't say so on the package.

Yeah I know I should do the math there at the store, but I am horrid at basic arithmatic (they let us use calulators for a reson in school ) and it is hard enough just to shop when you have to keep track of 1-2 small children.

Ok rant over I had bought some Algea sheets for using in soups. They said 12 carbs, 10 fiber, so I was thinking great, an LC high fiber source. Entering them into fitday I find it's 22g carb with 10g fiber :P

I was suspicious at the store since they are made with sesame seeds and tomato pressed into them. I just assumed (yes ass me) that they were so trace they didn't figure in segnificantly to carb count.
