Logging

So I have a question about logging carbs and net carbs...

HOW??! LOL

I know that logging carbs is total carbs minus fiber, but so you just log it as is and kinda make mental note? For example, if I have all of the info then I put carbs and dietary fiber. But sometimes I only have carbs info. Does MFP automatically deduct that when factoring your carbs that day or should I?

    Unfortunately, you're gonna have to do that yourself! Some people have added stuff to the database with net carbs (so when you're searching your foods, enter it as 'Broccoli net carbs')

    Or you can do what I do to make sure it's correct - if theres stuff I eat regularly, I create my own foods list, and in the carbs bit I just enter the net carbs instead of total carbs. A pain in the a*** to set up, but really quick (and reliable!) once it's done.
