Carbohydrate Values Are Displaying Incorrectly

I’ve noticed over the last week or two, the carb values of my foods are being displayed incorrectly (always lower grams than it actually is). However, if I try to edit the food, it shows the correct values. When I go into my day view of my total nutrients, the carbohydrate total will be correct, even though the wrong carb values will be displayed in my diary. Is anyone else having this issue?

    Do you happen to have Net Carbs turned on? That would certainly explain it.

    To verify, In our Android and iOS Apps*:
    Open the Menu or More(...) menu
    Select Settings then Diary Settings
    Toggle Net Carbs Mode off, if it's currently on

    Similar (but opposite) problem here. I have net carbs turned on. The individual food entries in my diary show the accurate net carbs amount. But when I look at my macros for the day, it shows total carbs. Impossible to tell if I'm hitting my macros

    I went into my Diary Settings but there’s no ‘Net Carbs Mode’ option for me. My app is up to date?

    This would mean you're outside of the US/Canada, so we don't offer Net Carbs to your region at this time. Please reach out to our support team directly for further individual help, we'd be happy to take a look.
