Carbs/ net carbs counting

deborahfelix13

I want to count carbs not net carbs but My fitnesspal only shows net carbs I believe. Any suggestions on how to count carbs on the app?

Standard view on MFP is not net carbs actually.
Net carbs is a premium option, and even on premium is not standard, you need to activate that option.

Side note: the above is valid for people from the US or Canada. If you are from another country, for example from Europe, the 'net carbs' functionality isn't available on MFP. European food labels already show net carbs, in other countries it varies.

The NET CARBS aren't counted correctly anyway, so don't waste your money on Premium for this option. Net carbs is SUPPOSED to be "Carbs - Fiber - Sugar Alcohols (including erythritol) - Allulose = Net Carbs" None of the "sugar alcohols" are taken into account on this app (whether on desktop or mobile), so those of us who use products with other sweeteners aren't getting accurate readings. I signed up for Premium for this feature alone, but just cancelled my trial because of this flaw. I'm a bariatric surgery patient, these numbers are IMPORTANT!

Example: Orgain Cafe Latte Protein Powder
App says: 19g net carbs (20g carbs - 1g fiber)
Actual: 14g net carbs (20g carbs - 1g fiber - 5g erythritol)
