Net Carb Calculation

tmturbin1760

Any chance this app will start recording the Net Carbs? I need a low carb friendly tracker and was hoping this one would give options for adjusting carbs for more accurate numbers after subtracting fiber. I've used this app for 3 to 4 years and love it. Net carbs should easy to calculate on this app. Thanks for considering it.

No, because it would monumentally screw things up for all the people in countries that already have net carbs listed on their food nutrition tables (ie carbs and fibre are listed separately, rather than fibre being part of the total carbs).

Just change either sodium or sugar to fibre as one of the nutrients in your diary, and subtract fibre from carbs. Simple arithmetic. There are also numerous 'net carb' entries in the database created by other users. Just include 'net carbs' in your search term. I believe there may also be a third party plug in/add on you can use.

Net carbs are easy to calculate on this app. Simply change fiber to a main nutrient on your daily display and subtract that number from your carbohydrates consumed.
