When I enter allulose in the diary, it says it has 4 net carbs, but the container says it has zero net carbs. Its throwing off my macros. How can it be fixed?

    Make a new entry, or check whether this entry is correct or for a different product. If for the same maybe correcting the entry might be in place (I think both only work on the website). Is the information on the label per hundred grams or per a very small serving? That's another thing to check.

    Looks like there are a few different entries for allulose in the database. Find one that matches what yours says.

    (If you are using net carbs on premium, it's going to subtract fiber from carbs, and my understanding is that it's not that allulose is fiber, but that like sugar alcohols you don't really digest the sugar/cals in it. So if the label has total carbs and 0 fiber, you will see what you are seeing. Some of the labels in the db just have 0 carbs, and some have offsetting fiber (which I think is incorrect, but I'm no expert -- I just heard of this product from your post).)
