WHY can't a net carb category be added?

in Introduce Yourself
I know it's easy to subtract the fiber from your daily carb value to figure out your net carbs BUT It freaks me out to see the dang negative carbs when it thinks I've gone over. It's psychological I guess. GRRRRR....just had to vent, thanks!

    Sorry, I meant to post this in the low carb group, is there any way it can be moved?

    Just create a new food called "net carbs." The food should have 0 calories and be -1 carbohydrate. Enter however many servings you need to after eating a food with "net carbs."

    Don't remove calories! food label rules allow insoluble fiber/sugar alcohol etc calories to NOT be counted on the package. They are already removed.

    Jenn :) I can move your thread for you just let me know where the group you'd like it moved to is. There are a lot of low carb groups just let me know which one you're in. :)
