I would love to be able to count my Carbs that I burn on the treadmill. Is there anyway to do that?

    One gram of carbs is equal to 4 calories. So you could say that if you burn 100 calories on the treadmill, you "burned" 25g of carbs. It's not really that specific though because your body will actually be using a mixture of carbs and fats and proteins for energy.

    Too many variables. You'd have to know how fast you absorb them, if they are high/low glycemic, is your intensity high enough.......................why do you need to know this?

    Because Im a diabetic and try to watch the carb intake.

    So then just count the carbs that you eat. I don't think exercising will specifically help your carb count, because your body doesn't just use carbs for fuel.

    My treadmill shows how many carbs I burn...I just wished when I plugged in my exercise that it would deduct that from my total Carb intake like it does the calories
