Can insoluble fiber carbohydrates be subtracted from calorie counts on beans? Is it already done?

I remember goya’s beans once did labeling with calorie counts subtracted vs calorie counts not substracted for lentils and there was quite a difference…

I assume that fiber calories (from gut microbiome fatty acid production) are not counted in US nutrition labels. However, I could be wrong, as apps like Cronometer.com do count at least some of the energy produced by fiber.
