Please add net carbs

It is frustrating to have to manually calculate net carbs. I have looked all though app and settings thinking there would be an option but did not see one.

    There are loads of user created net carb entries in the database, just add 'net carbs' to your search term.

    And if you change out either sugar or sodium to fibre as one of your diary view nutrients, it's really pretty easy to subtract the fibre from carbs...It really isn't difficult or onerous if you have both right there.

    If you have the app on your phone, you can go to the nutrition tab and and then you can see your total nutrients. it will have your total carbs and fiber so you can easily subtract and get your net carbs :)

    You can do this on desktop too -- just track fiber as one of the top 5 instead of either sugar or sodium.

    When I briefly did keto I found it super easy, and frankly I think seeing fiber is important anyway.
