Default Help with UK nutrition labels
Hi,

This may sound stupid, but I could use a hand in understanding the UK nutritional labels pertaining to carbs.

Please have a look at the following label for Green & Blacks cocoa:

Nutrition Typical Values Per
Serving Unit 100g
Energy kJ 1458
kcal 350
Protein (g) 23.6
Carbohydrate (g) 13.6
-of which are sugars (g) 0.4
Fat (g) 22.3
- of which saturates (g) 13.0
- of which monounsaturates (g) 7.5
- of which polyunsaturates (g) 0.8
- of which trans (g) 0.0
Fibre (g) 28.7
Sodium* (mg) 13.0
* equivalent as salt (g) 0.03

In atkins I read to get to the carbs you should be concerned about, you subtract the total carbs by the fibre carbs.

However, in this instance, the grams of fibre listed is more than the total carbs number?!?

Do I need to only concern myself with the 'Sugar carbs' listed [which in this instance is 0.4g] or is that way too good to be true?
