I spoke to the man in my health food store about this and he explained it had something to do with government regulated labeling laws -- possibly regarding those with diabetes I don't recall exactly. He said for all intents and purposes we should only concern ourselves with the " effective, " " impact " or " net " carbs which are way lower than the 15 you speak of. For example, my Atkins Chocolate Peanut Butter Bar has 21 grams carbs on the nutrition label but only 2 grams " net " carbs and my AdvantEdge Apple Cinnamon Bar has 19 grams on the nutritional label but only 3 grams " impact " carbs. These bars have been serving me well - I tend to get gas and diarrhea from too many carbs and that has never happened to me with a protein bar.
