Signed up for premium thinking I’d be able to get net carbs. Not the case. Adding my voice to the thousands that are requesting this function. No net carbs calculator, no premium membership

Net carbs have been discussed here a time or two in the past. Here's a bit of reading for you, just a few of the threads - with many containing explanations as to why it's impractical and probably won't ever be implemented:

Avoiding the need to do kindergarden level subtraction in my head is perhaps the last thing I'd pay extra money for. Why not track fiber? Fiber is important, regardless of your other carb numbers.

Pretty sure I don't need an app to do that simple calculation for me. Hell, I don't even need a free app to do that, much less a premium one.

Net carbs have never been advertised as a premium feature. Did you look at what is offered before you signed up?

Change your display settings to show you fiber in your view, net carbs = carbs- fiber, assuming you're using the American versions of nutrition facts. That is all I see though when logging food, the American version that doesn't already have net cards. It's better than nothing.
