Default Carb counting - too hard !

Well i've finished day two of induction and have religously kept to my 20g carbs a day.

The question is how to toal the dail food. Should I use the Atkins book or the food lables ?. As I live in the UK I believe that the carbspon the food label are correct (for Atkins purposes).

There are some big differences i.e.

Egg
Atkins = 0,6, label = trace (assume trace ~ 0g )
Cheedar Chees
Atknis = 0.2g per two tablespoons, food label says 0.1g per 100 g

Leerdamer Cheese
Label say 0g of carbs per 100g !!

What I'm getting at here is should I base my counts on the food labels or not. If the answer is yes then it looks like I have been over counting my carbs.

Looking forward to my mid week weigh in on Thursday morning.
