If you enter custom foods in FitDay, keep in mind that UK labels list net carbs, not total carbs. So if a product has, let's say, 3 g carbohydrate and 1 g dietary fiber on a European label, then it has 4 g total carbohydrate, 3 net carbs and 1 g dietary fiber.
By the way, do you have a copy of Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution (2002)? Net carbs are explained there...

"The truth is that temptation lurks everywhere, unless you deny yourself a social and working life and the attendant pleasures of eating out. I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.
Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
