Actually, that's an interesting challenge that the company that makes that bread (LC Foods) has run into with their nutritional labelling. Because fiber is technically carbohydrate (just not digestible by humans), there isn't really a consensus among regulatory bodies on how to treat it — specifically, Europe counts them as calorically empty while the US considers them equivalent to any other carbohydrates.
Normally, with the amount of fiber stuff actually contains, this doesn't make a practical difference, but in the case of LC Foods it means that their products' calorie counts are basically completely wrong (at least in the US; they may change them when they distribute internationally).
