I’m a low carver trying to use My Fitness Pal

Does anyone have any idea how to use this app to track NET carbs? It’s impossible to set goals for carbs when all you can track is total carbs. Yes, I’m a premium member and can see the macros on my dashboard, but I can’t set GOALS for carbs that make any sense. How have you handled it?

no there is no specific net carb setting because MFP is an international website and many other countries auto track netcarbs unlike the US

If you are US, put your Carbs and Fiber columns beside one another and subtract. You can keep your tally in Notes. If you are UK, net carbs are already done on UK food entries.

^^I use this browser plugin and it calculates net carbs for me as well as shows percentages of fat/protein/net carbs per meal and per day. A wonderful tool for low carbers!
