So frustrating that My Fitness Pal tracks total carbs and not net carbs. Any workarounds?

    I wish it would do it too. I’m at about 63 carbs for the day but 30g of fiber.

    In the example, 63-30=33.

    Not only is it always doable in your head without even thinking about it (IME), but I think it is good that it means that people track and look at fiber.

    I believe you can also subtract sugar alcohols, but I never did as I didn't eat much and wouldn't want to eat enough that it really made a difference.
