Hi.

I'm just wondering if anyone knows the answer to the following question:

I keep track of my sugar, fiber and carbohydrate count, and I subtract the soluble fiber from my carb count, do I need to ADD the sugar to my carbohydrate count, or is it already counted?

Thank You to all who reply!

    honestly, I believe in the US, sugar and fiber are sub categories of carbohydrates. If you are loosely following Atkins, I would just hide the sugar tracker. From what I understand, it is set way too low--at the amount for ADDED sugar instead of total sugar, so it is almost impossible to stay under.

    Carbohydrates includes fiber and sugars, so yes, if you subtract fiber from total carbs you'll get net carbs. No need to add in the sugar. :)
