Calories = Carbs x 4 + Proteon x 4 + Fat x 9 + Alcohol x 6.93
The data you entered comes to:
Calories = 118 = 14 * 4 + 11 * 4 + 2 * 9 + 0 * 6.93 = 118
Possible reasons are:
1. You did not enter the label data accurately, re-check to ensure accuracy
2. The label may have listed carbs by weight (including fiber) and not by difference. In this case, subtract the fiber from the carb count
3. The label is incorrect, or contains hidden carbs."
I know the label is correct, I thought carbs I only entered in carbs-fiber, so I initially wrote 9 carbs, but I got the same error. So I figured that it must mean all carbs, so I put 14... Neither worked. I think there should be some wiggle room like fitday has, if you're off by a few calories it'll still let you enter it in, it's only when you're off my a large % of calories that it won't let you enter it in... Being off my 6 or 7 calories doesn't seem like a big deal to me.

Dreamfield's Pasta allegedly counts as only 5 grams of carbs per serving. It is listed as 42 on the side of the box and the formula will not work properly unless I list it as 42-4 fiber for 38.
The typo is when the formula doesn't work ie. the example quoted above is the place where protein is mispelled.
