Can someone please help???
Today i had 2 very small avocados for breakfast but they are showing my carbs as 10. Is this correct or should i be counting net carbs on the keto plan.
I´m a tad confused.com
It seems crazy to have so many go just on breakfast.
I was under the impression that avocados were the best food for good fats on Keto!
Thanks

    Hi girl! Looks like you're on the keto wagon!

    To answer your question, you subtract fiber from carbs to get your net carb count. I peeked at your diary. Your total carbs were 17 but you had 13 grams of fiber (I think I read that right). So, your net would be only 4. In my diary, I put carbs next to fiber so I'm mindful of net and can subtract it out easily.

    Avocado is a great fat for keto. Like anything, you just have to work it into your macros and calories for the day.

    <cool, Thanks for that. Yes it makes sense now. I couldn´t work out if the carbs were new or not. ( newbie :-) ) How many new carbs should i try and stick to on the Keto plan?

    :bigsmile: so happy i can continue with the avocados for breakfast now. We have so many trees worth it would be a shame not to eat loads ourselves :laugh:
