If I am remembering the label correctly from what was posted. The bar has 2 servings so for the bar it is:
19 total carbs x 2 = 38 total carbs.
minus 8 grams of fiber x 2 = 16 fiber grams
minus 8 x2 grams of Erythritol (sugar alcohol) = 16 grams
38-16-16=6 NET carbs.
Some folks go with TOTAL carbs when counting. Some folks count NET carbs. Me? I'm a total carb person. It's just a choice. I have fiber listed on my food diary but pay little attention to it. No need to based on my personal food choices and total carb allowance.

I also am a whole carb counter. Also I was just looking for fiber this morning lol. My fiber pill is 2 carbs! I know it's not a lot but I stay under 20 a day so that's one of my snacks lolIf I am remembering the label correctly from what was posted. The bar has 2 servings so for the bar it is:

FYI, many people (including moi) look at Erythritol
as perhaps the most harmless of the sugar alcohols. It doesn't tend to raise blood sugar and does not share the spectacular laxative tendencies 
of some of its cousins. 4 -
World market has a 99% chocolate bar that has more fiber ham carbs!2

Erythritol is one of the sugar alcohols with which most can get away subtracting them all. Xylitol as well. The rest you should only subtract half.2

Since first reading the suggestion here many moons ago, I have used that sensible rule. Perhaps as a consequence (with some credit due the aforementioned GI fireworks produced by sorbitol and its kin), I pretty much stick to stevia and erythritol. So finding Lilly's was

I found this interesting so while at the store bought a bar of good ol' common Baker' s 100% Chocolate and tried a square. Not bad. Surprised me!1 -
