hi Bez,
I double-checked fitday, and indeed ... 1 oz. macadamia nuts are 3.6g carbs / 2.5g fiber. It would appear that the manufacturer of the nuts you purchased has already subtracted the fiber from the total carbs, to give the count of 1.1-1.2g.
So, the fitday count is in agreement, give or take a few tenth's of a gram .. if you look at the "Calories Eaten Today" chart in your fitday food journal, you'll see the breakdown of total carbs and fiber. Fitday also subtracts the grams of fiber before calculating your calories eaten for the day.
Not sure about the cheese, maybe different fat contents between US and UK? You can always enter your favourite cheese as a Custom food, and use the nutrient counts on the label. I do that often, I find that the tinned salmon and tuna I buy are lower in fat and higher protein according to the labels than what fitday has listed.
hope this helps ..
Doreen
