Hi, I was wondering if you subtract your fiber from your carbs, in order to keep your carbs low and stay in fat burning mode? I am quickly running out of carbs and proteins, long before calories and fats.

    Yes, this is called your net carbs. So if your total carbs is 7 but your fiber is 6 your bet carb is 1

    Great! Thanks so much. Cause I eat lots of veggies and don't really like to limit them too much or else I am starving!
