It's this simple oversight that trips people up.  That along with portion sizes and sweeteners :-\    If you find that you are stalling then doing a check on the simple stuff first can make all difference.

Sorry suzanne - I feel the same way.  I love curries and it is 1.56c (after fibre deducted) for 6.3g - which, when making a curry - is an insignificant amount  :'(

PS - chilli powder (also a favourite) is 1.18c (after fibre) for 8g, garlic powder 5c for 8g and onion powder 5c for 6g
       it's not fair and it a 'pip' to measure these things when cooking
