in Getting Started
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.

    Yep carbs are total.

    Good luck on your LCHF path.

    Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.:smile:

    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.
