I’ve been trying to figure out a way to get the app to correctly calculate the net carbs for certain foods and I’ve had no luck. I eat these keto pastries that are only 4net carbs but the app reads them as 13. Is there a way I can edit this?

    You have to do it on the app. It only works in the USA and Canada, and it will work on iOS or Android.

    You must be a Premium member to access this feature.

    Are the nutritional details accurate in the entry you've chosen from the MFP food database?

    The database is crowd-sourced (entered by regular MFP users, some of whom aren't meticulously accurate). On top of that, product formulations change over time (but old entries are still in the database), and differ in different countries for the same-named food product. If the nutrition details aren't accurate, the net carb calculation won't be accurate, even in premium MFP.
