Why does the Atkins Peanut Butter Granola Bar say it only has 3 net carbs and the food tracking system tracks it at 13?

Because FatSecret doesn't take into account the sugar alcohols, which are not included in the net carbs with Atkins but are with FatSecret. You can fix this by making your own food entry and adding the sugar alcohols to the fiber so that they'll be subtracted from total carbs, then save the entry as viewable only to you :)

Its the net carbs you need to look at, add that to your chart

Thank you for the advice and information. I've just kinda been subtracting them in my head when I look at the total, but I'll try adding them ad my own entry.
