How do you get my fitness pal to only count net carbs? It’s making it difficult to ensure I am under my carbs for the day since I’m doing keto...I’m a keto beginner so any info will help.

    Go into your diary settings and switch tracking sugar for tracking fiber. Your diary will now show total carb grams and fiber grams so it takes about 1/2 second to do the subtraction in your head to get net carb grams.

    MFP will not do it for you because 1) It will mean a total overhaul of the database including eliminating all user-entered items which is about 90% of the entries and 2) Keto is the flavor of the moment followed by a minority of members so they are not going to change it for a small group.
