Do I count the total carbs from my protein bars or the Net Carbs????

Please tell me I count the net carbs!!!!....I love my two protein bars, Chocolate Chip Brownie by Advant Edge which has 25 protein, 20 total carbs, and Chocolate Peanut Crunch by CarbWise which has 21 protein, 23 total carbs. On fitday, I've been going off the package which says to count 3 grams (sugar/starch) toward my daily carbohydrate intake, so that is what I've been doing. I saw somewhere this was wrong...and freaked out because even though I eat only complex carbs from veggies and minimal fruit, it will throw my protein/carb. ratio off if I have to count the "Total Carb." I try to keep my protein a good distance ahead of my complex carbs and this would really mixes things up. If I do count the total is it considered a simple or complex carb??? Sorry so long, but I always get such good advise here so I thought I'd ask you guyz!! thanks a bunch....Missy 09/15/03 210/currently 115/100-110goal.
