It is great to see net carbs added. As a diabetic who need to count net carbs for insulin this is a huge help. It would be great to see the net carbs at the meal summary. This would make us way easier for people to calculate when they have multiple items

    I'm assuming you've paid for premium MFP, since you are wanting to track net carbs.

    Are you aware that you can change your diary display via the customization settings? If you click on the 3 dots at the upper right of the diary (next to where it says "calories remaining" in your screenshot), you'll get a list of "Custom Dashboard" settings. There, click "Low Carb".

    Your diary page should then look like this:

    Ignore the fact that my net carbs are high. I don't low carb, don't need to, don't want to. I just switched my settings temporarily to show this option.

    Would that display work better for you? Another option, in the "Custom Dashboard" settings, is "Custom". You can pick any 3 nutrients to show in the summary.

    Universally, for everyone? Please, no. Some of us (like me) don't really care about carbs, let alone care about net carbs. I'm sympathetic that some people do need and want to see that, but customization settings are the way to go. If the current customization settings don't offer the options you want, this would be the place to post a request/suggestion about that:

    I don't think the MFP staff monitors other parts of the Community (like the section we're posting in now) for feature requests: There are just so many posts in the Community, and the staff is small.
