Hi there, and welcome to the forum. 
The problem is that Atkins bars have some sugar alcohols. Do the bars have a "total carb" count that is much higher than the "net" carbs?
If so, you can simply enter the net carbs as PECC, and the difference between the net carbs and total carbs as sugar alcohols (in Additional Data).
If your bars show the total carbs as the same as the net carbs, you will have to do a spot of arithmetic. Simply multiply fat grams by 9, net carb grams by 4, and protein by 4. Subtract this from the calories. Then just divide the remainder by 4, and that will be your sugar alcohols count.
