Cyborg............do you subtract even if there's only 1g of fiber?
Why the threshold? Fiber is still fiber and interacts with your body the same way regardless of how much or how little there is, no? (If there is a threshold, doing it as a percentage seems more rational to me than a fixed amount - I would think it's more sensible to subtract the fiber in something with 5g carb/4g fiber than something with 100g carb/10g fiber. This would also avoid any games that may be played with serving sizes.)

And I'm with Cyborg, at least for now. I always subtract fiber, but I'm only a month into this, so I may find that not subtracting it or only subtracting a fraction of it works better for me.
