Has anyone tracked their net carbs using MFP? If so, could use some help with setting it up! I am on the 20 net carbs/day. Thanks!

    You can’t directly track net carbs using MFP.

    What you can do is set yourself to track fibre and subtract that number from your total carbohydrate number, giving you the net carb result.

    Also, you need to be vigilant that every entry you select from the database has carbs and fiber entered correctly. Good luck!

    Yeah, what boldknee said.

    If you were really committed to the Net Carbs thing you could enter all your own foods into the database with "net carbs" and then just use those entries. They would appear in your MY FOODS list, so easy enough to find.
