Carbs!

Following Keto for 16 weeks now and love it. But, the App only shows Total carbs. How can I see Net carbs? Bit confused.

There are lots of different definitions of ‘net carbs’. But if you just mean ‘carbs minus fibre’, you can change which columns are shown on your home page to show your fibre. Then you can do the arithmetic easily enough yourself

Just be aware that a lot of DB entries are actually net carbs already. Anything that was entered by someone in Europe, for example, because the nutritional information shown on labels here is the carbs with fibre already subtracted.

You can either just do the math and subtract fiber and some sugar alcohols (be careful with this though, some, like maltitol, you cannot subtract). Or you can use a tracking option that does the math for you-cronometer has a net carb option, Carb Manager app has it, as does the Atkins app.

Cheers for that. Still figuring it out. I’ll see if those apps are available 😀
