Net Carbs for Atkins

Posts: 4 Member
edited October 2024 in Introduce Yourself
Hello! Myfitnesspal is by far my favorite app to track, however I recently began Atkins and don't see any way to track Net Carbs. I really hate the thought of switching, but Net Carbs are very important to know for me. Does anyone know if there is a way to track them with myfitnesspal?

    I have yet to find the summary on the webpage, but I found the Net Carbs ARE calculated for you in the Android app (and I presume the iPhone app). Tap the HOME icon at the top, then the "Nutrients" tab. Subtract the Dietary Fiber from the Total Carbs and you've got it!

    While we are on this topic, I'm in the OWL phase, and would love it if MFP could be adjusted to use the target Net Carbs I'm in (under 50 grams per day).

    Is there a setting for that on the site or the app?

    Go to the "my home" tab, then the "goals" tab. You can choose to customize your own settings. Hope this helps and good luck!

    When you enter a food in type net behind it and Mfp will put the net carbs in your diary. Feel free to add me if you like I am also doing Atkins.
