Hi there. Sometimes I see food listed and it says (Net Carbs). What does that mean?

Thank you for any help.:smile:

    It is something used by low carb dieters and some people with specific medical conditions involving blood sugar levels. Basically it is the total carbs minus the fiber and sugar alcohols = net carbs.
    People following a low carb diet may track their net carbs.

    Thanks so much for your explanation on NET carbs. I am afraid to say -I am a carb freak and love them. Thanks again for the help!
