how do you account for chia seeds? 1 tablespoon is 5g carbs but has 5g dietry fiber. Thanks in advance

    I'm not as experienced as others with this way of eating, so correct me if I'm wrong...but from my understanding, it all depends on how you count your carbs. Do you count your total carbs or your net carbs? I personally count total carbs, so I would count it as 5g. If you do net, then I'd factor it to 0-1g.

    I count net and eat three and a half tablespoons a day for like, eighteen carbs minus eighteen fiber. My carbs are usually around fifty, with forty odd fiber subtracted. This is lately.
