Default Re: Very Confused about Carb Counts...help!

I also use fitday to count the carbs for me. Nothing is going to be perfect when it comes to carb counting. Erring on the side of caution sounds like good advice to me.
Also though package labels are good most of the time, there can be inaccuracies when the serving size is very small. The label laws are such that the company is allowed to round down. So if something is under 1 the label may say zero carbs. Many people come here thinking cheese has no carbs but that is just the label being slightly inaccurate.
