Hello, I am new to this and was able to customize my settings for my Macros and to try and stay under the 20-22 Net Carbs required for induction/ day. MFP allowed me to go as low as 24 (5%) but I guess that is actual carbs. I noticed alot of foods are in MFP as actual carbs and not NET so how do I change the counter to allow me to have the 20 Net carbs? Please and Thanks

PS: My Atkins Advantage Bar shows 19 carbs (should be Net 2).

    Hey,
    I set the carbs at 30g which is 10% I think and make sure I get at least 8g of fibre in there too so the net carbs will be 22. Hope that helps :)

    Thankyou, That's a good idea especially for monitoring fibre which I think looks like it may be something I need to watch too, LOL. I also did find that some Atkins products in MFP database do have some NET carb options to select that will only list the NET for you (they typically say so in the header). I'm only allowing one on my work out days, if they stall me they will go.!!

    I only choose the listings with total carbs then I don't get mixed up!
