carbs & sugar

Hi everyone, I am just getting started out on a LCHF diet and was wondering if the carbs column is total carbs { ie includes sugar} as sugar gets a column of its own. I know it is probably really obvious and simple but , I am simpler

Carbs are total, including sugar. Sugar gets its own column because some people are trying to limit their sugar intake.

cheers, I did think that was the case but thought conformation would be wise

Yep carbs are total.

Good luck on your LCHF path.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Net carbs are total carbs minus fiber, so you'll want to make sure you've got MFP set up to track fiber. If I remember correctly it's not a default setting, and I had to change it, but I don't always remember correctly

Good luck with LCHF! I really like it. I find it much easier to stay within my calorie range. I still eat carby stuff once in a while if it's really worth it. For the first time in my life, a juicy piece of fruit actually seems like dessert.
