i found that I could add a food to MYFOODS that I call sugar alcohols. I put in ZERO calories, etc and put a MINUS 1 in the carb. Yep, that is right. -1 so If I have 6 sugar alcohols, I put in 6 servings on my food diary and it shows up as a -6 in the carb column. whooooopeeee.

    THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!
    I love this app, but being on Atkins, it was upsetting/irritating that I had to use the entries that didn't take the S.A.'s into account and then had to make sure I added them into my calculations, listing them in the NOTES area. This has made it soooo much eaiser. I really appreciate you sharing that information.
