I know you take the fiber count away from the Carb count to get the "real" carb count but if something lists both dietary fiber and soluble fiber, do you take both of them away from the carb count to get the right amount or just one of them?

Just the dietary fiber is deductable, I believe.

You can deduct both dietary and soluable fiber from total carbs. Here is a discussion of it.

"Q. Why Are There Calories in Soluble Fiber?

A. According to the FDA, soluble fiber is listed on food labels as having calories because it does, in a roundabout way, contribute calories to the body. This is because most soluble fiber is used by the bacteria in the colon to produce short-chain fatty acids which, in turn, are used by the body. These calories do not raise blood sugar, so when counting carbs, those in soluble fiber (like insoluble fiber) don't count towards the total. This same situation is also true of oligosaccharides, which may or may not also be listed as fiber."

Thank you Henry for enlightening us. I couldn't remember for sure, and I couldn't find the other online article I was looking for.

Cool! I was hoping that I could deduct both!
