Allow adjustment to Net Carbs - PLEASE???

ShariPeterson

So many people are on diets that count Net Carbs (Carbohydrates less fiber). I was told by MFP that there are many variables to determine the amount of net carbs around the globe, so MFP doesn't do it at all. MFP relies on the basic nutritional information.

I propose that there be an option to Edit the amount of carbohydates manually, the same way you can adjust the Serving Size, Number of Servings, and Time.

When will you introduce this feature??? I'm sure with the popularity of Keto and other low carb diets that this would be a welcome feature in your app!

Why are you asking on a forum when no one of any clout will be reading it??

MFP can't do this until is is required on US food labels, so this question is better addressed to the FDA.

Oh, just realized you want to be able to edit the carbs in a food - you can indeed already edit and make your own entry. Find the food, click Nutrition Info > No > Edit. Add "Net Carbs" to your new entry.

But first look in the database to see if others already did this.

You can also simply put Fiber next to Carbs in your food diary and subtract.
