Does it bother anyone else that MFP tells you you're over on your carbs when after taking away the fiber you're not? How have they not accounted for this yet?

    It tracks total carbohydrate not net. Adjust the goal for fiber if you need to. Non - American labels don't include fiber in "total carbohydrates" so it's a bit of a minefield

    No. I just know I eat a crap ton of fiber every day and focus on the trend of my carbs.
