Are they all Atkins or other low-carb products? I don't eat a lot of processed foods when I follow low-carb or paleo, so I eat mostly foods that don't come with a nutrition label.
When I'm eating more processed foods with nutrition labels, I'm generally not buying products made specifically for low-carbers.
Right now I'm following "The Simple Diet" which isn't low-carb (although it can be done in a carb-conscious manner). The diet does rely on more prepackaged foods like frozen dinners as well as protein bars and shakes, but the guidelines only address calorie, fat and protein content. I do look at carb content as well, but only to find the lowest carb options that fit into the other guidelines. I'm not usually buying items marketed as low-carb.
I did buy one Atkins frozen meal (which is higher in fat than the Simple Diet guidelines, but I made an exception to give it a try). I read the label but to the best of my recall, the term net carbs was used.
