Default Adding a custom food...question

I'm not all that experienced with My PLAN, and am hoping to get into using it regularly again, since it'll really help rein in my WOE.

Anyway, I was just trying to add in a piece of Babybel cheese, and I typed in the nutrition data from the package, but it's still showing as 0 carbs, (which I typed in).

What is the "forumula" for calculating the true carb count of a food?

Here's the breakdown on the package:

Per 21 gram piece:

Calories: 70
Total Fat: 6 grams
Protein: 5 grams
Total Carb: 0 grams

Now I know there must be some carbs in this thing - it's cheese!

I'm not used to the labeling requirements in the USA - whereby if it's less than 1 gram, they can list 0.

How do I calculate the true carb count of this item?

Thanks very much for your help
