Net carb nightmare

Why doesn't this ap have an option to minus fiber grams from total carbs? So simple, would help so much.

Because it is an international database and the majority of countries list net carbs and not gross carbs on their labels, so in many cases the fiber would be subtracted twice, resulting in wild inaccuracies and a completely unreliable net carb count.

So simple.... To do in your head!

It's hardly a nightmare. To save you from having to calculate, you could use a net carb entry instead of a total carb entry, that way your carb total is net carbs. There are many entries that stipulate "net carbs", you could use those or create your own if one isn't available.
