Default What is the accurate carb count for zucchini?

Fitday gives me for 1 large zucchini:

3 calories; 0,496 carbs; 0,176 fiber

Atkins Carb Gram Counter gives for 1/2 cup:

9 calories; 1.9 carbs; 0.8 fiber = 1.1 net carbs

1/2 cup is a lot less than 1 large zucchini, so I can't possibly reconcile these two numbers. I have been eating a lot of zucchini and Fitday always gives me a "0" carb count with only 3 calories but I guess that may not be accurate after all.

Does anybody know what the actual count is?

Thanks!
