One note, about the discrepancies, they are close to what the totals are. I guess we or I should be more diligent when entering data to the food base.

Fiber is considered a carbohydrate and carbs are 4 calories per gram. Since fiber is not completely digested in the body it is less than 4 calories per gram. As an estimate it is 1-2 calories per gram. The labeling rule is: If a food has 5 grams of fiber or more, the grams of fiber can be subtracted from the “Total…
