Carb Count Question

I’m counting carbs due to Type 2 diabetes. I have the Mission Smart Carb tortillas that are 4 carbs each. When I enter it it shows 13 carbs, it doesn’t take into account 9g protein. Is there a way to adjust this? Thanks in advance.

    Do you mean fiber? Protein is a different macro.

    Entries in the database are user created. Since net carbs are not available (mostly because the rest of the world already follows net carbs), the listings you are going to find will almost always be for total carbs. If you prefer to track net carbs, you can either use this and other accurate entries while tracking fiber in your nutrients and making the manual calculation for net carbs, or you can search for/create an entry that states net carbs.
