Fiber calories vent

Is anyone else annoyed that MFP counts fiber calories? Whenever I enter something like Advocare's fiber drink (70 calories- 10g fiber 1g sugar) I feel cheated. 40 of those calories aren't absorbed but come off my daily total. When you're consuming the RDA of fiber it adds up...

Ok rant over :)

    Yeah, I'm annoyed, too. But I guess I'll be ok...

    It's probably not as much less as you think - you will get SOME calories out of fiber, even if it's only from the secondary fermentation from your gut bacteria. (Yum!) No calorie counts are exact - really it's not worth worrying about.
