After hearing (ok, reading--picky, picky ) so many people say that FitDay doesn't subtract the fiber from the carbs, when I KNEW it did, I looked again. Now I understand whence the confusion arises.

The program's a little schizophrenic.

Let's use my stats from yesterday as a concrete example. I consumed, according to FitDay, 22g of carbs. The kcals calculated come to 69, and the percentage is 5% of the total kcals for the day.

But wait, you say, 22x4 is 88.

Precisely.

I ate 5g of *fiber* carbs. That's shown on the line below, as "fiber," but the rest of that line comes up as zeroes. The program does NOT calculate kcals for fiber, presumably because that isn't burned for fuel like other carbs. Nor does it show a percentage; zero is zero, it can't be a percentage.

That is why my entry comes up 22g carbs, 69kcals (22-5=17, 17x4=68.... ok, it's off by one, don't ask me why) and 5% of the total, with the 5g of fiber on the line below.

I hope this clears it up for folks. I *knew* it worked that way, I just wasn't aware of why people were confused--it made sense to me. ::shrugs::
