Fatsecrets Carb Counts vs Atkins Website Carb Counts
I'm noticing a huge difference here in Carb counts. For example, when calculating my carbs on a roma tomato, 1/2 Cup (or 1 med) Roma tomato is 2 carbs according to FS. But I see on the Atkins site, 1/2 Cup of Roma is actually 8.6g. THAT'S A HUGE DIFFERENCE!
I need to be more careful .. glad I caught this when I did

I wonder what the reasoning is? Maybe fat secret is calculating net carbs while atkins is counting the total carbohydrates?

I have noticed when doing searches for common food items, that people have added food items with their own nutrition facts, thinking they couldn't find the right item. You do get a warning, asking you to be sure it isn't already listed, but ah well. So, I am now paying more attention by looking at multiple listings to find the weird, incorrect ones that stand out and NOT picking those!

Ivysnooks --- on the Atkins site, they ONLY go by Netcarbs. :-/

Gilliansings - I know. I guess it's up to us to be sure we find the correct data and not just assume its 100% right here. Why can't life just be EASY! lol
