There is no reason to not count ALL the calories you consume, if you are counting calories. While its true that fiber is nearly indigestable, and that consuming fiber may actually reduce the amount of calories absorbed by your body, it is difficult to know if a nutritional data label has already accounted for that (believe it or not).

There is much flexibility in the guidelines of nutritional data labels, for example, if you were to add the calories from the carb, protein, and fat components of a food, it likely will not add up to the calories listed on the label. Also, sometimes fiber is included in the carb and calorie data and sometimes its not. Personally, I don't use the calories listed on a label - I use the carb, protein, and fat components to calculate, whenever possible. But then again, I care less about calories and more about ratios.

You could really make yourself nuts with this stuff - for consistancy, if your counting calories, I recommend counting ALL calories you consume.
