Re: carb fibre puzzlement???
If you've been subtracting fiber, then your calcs are likely wrong.
In the UK and EU, fiber isn't considered to be a carbohydrate, so it's not included in the total carbohydrate number on a nutritional label. So there's nothing to subtract.
The fiber count is informational.
You can always check the item against the USDA database
www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/ (where you would subtract the fiber).J.
