Change your diary entries to show fiber instead of sugar or sodium. It then will take about a second to mentally subtract that number from your total carb number to get net carbs.
If you have a lot of time, you can create your own net carb entry for every food you eat. but I don't know anyone who has that time.6 -

Everyone has time. It takes just a few minutes to create a spreadsheet and if you know how you can use the formula function to make all the calculations for you!

The poster was asking about doing it on MFP. If someone wants to recreate the wheel on a separate spreadsheet they can but I prefer to use the tools already available. BTW, I count total carbs, not net carbs, and I changed the sugars default to fiber anyway because it is very important to get enough fiber.5 -

Not sure what the spreadsheet would be for.
The poster you were responding to pointed out that you can track fiber and do the subtraction in your head (super easy and satisfying for me when I was tracking net carbs) or, if you'd rather spend the time, create new net carb entries for each food you log. That's a lot more time, but if you care about having only net carbs show in carbs it might be worth it to someone, dunno.
Neither requires a spreadsheet or formulas (and since the calculations are super basic subtraction everyone can do in their head I'm not sure why you'd want to use a formula function, but I assume this was just people talking past each other).2 -
Why do you say living in Australia Chris? Were you not born here? Hope you are not around any of the fires or floods. We got flooded badly last year.1

Hey all. I'm new, 7 days on the App. I am a 41-year-old man living in South Africa. I do Crossfit 3/4 times a week and eat below, or right on my calorie goal every day. I have given up all alcohol, but I must say, I am seeing centimeters drop off the waistline but no kgs. I often feel rather tired during the day despite getting to bed early every night. Any thoughts?1

This is a common misconception of dopamine. Serotonin is more the neurotransmitter of happiness, if we want to be that reductionist.
Dopamine does a lot of things depending on where it is being transmitted, but in terms of emotions, it is probably best considered anticipation. Just as an example, dopamine not only potentiates pleasure, it does potentiate pain - an increase in dopamine before a painful event will increase the pain perception, and I believe in the transmission levels of substance p. Putting those two together, it could even be said that dopamine is about learning, which you could guess based on this pedantic commentary almost brings me back around to calling it happiness, but I think many would disagree.14 -
