    Depends what you're trying to do, and what goals you set.

    Dr Westman has a ketogenic diet protocol with 20g of Total Carbohydrates, on US labels

    Atkins current Phase 1 (induction) has 20 grams of net carbs with 12-15g of that from vegetables.

    Ignore the fiber and count the carbs as they are.
