Default Total fiber is different when exported to my journal?

I just discovered the export to journal feature today and tried it out. However, in my plan it shows that I had 7.5 grams of fiber, but in my journal it posted that I had 22.4. This is today's entry if you want to take a look. Just found that odd. Any ideas? Thank you!

Absolutely love it, though!

What I see when I click on your link is that you had 29.9g Total Carbs, and 7.5g of Fiber. That means you had 22.4g of Net Carbs.

My P.L.A.N. uses the term Possible Effective Carb Count, or PECC, instead of Net Carbs. Do you by any chance have PECC checked in your Settings? I don't thing checking PECC alters the Nutritional Summary, though. As I understand it, the Nutritional Summary will always show Total Carbs and Fiber separately.

What you posted above is what my My P.L.A.N. shows, but NOT what my export to journal shows.

Carbs: 29.9 - Protein: 45.9 - Fat: 71.1 - Fiber: 22.4 - Calories: 932


There is a discrepancy between the calculations in My P.L.A.N. and what it exports to my journal...at least that is what I am perceiving. When you look in my My P.L.A.N. there is no way my fiber equals 22.4 in any way.

And yes, I DO have PECC checked, but don't think it has anything to do with this discrepancy, unless it is causing it???

A temporary fix was to just stick to printing the fiber data. Give it a try.
