Relax, Chrish, you're being too hard on yourself! If the serving size listed is three strips of bacon, and it's listed as 0 carbs, there can't be more than 1/2 a carb, or they round up. Labels are better than they used to be about putting in a realistic serving size. That's where they could get sneaky. Another good way to figure if they're being "honest" on the label is to take the number of fat grams times 9, the protein and carb grams times 4, add the results together, and compare the answer to the calories listed. The answers should be pretty darn close, or they're fudging somewhere. Then call their 800- number to find out what's going on!
All in all, you figure out pretty fast what you can and cannot eat, and how much.
