Carbs

Meaning of Total carbs in iOS app.
I am really confused. What does total carbs in the app food diary mean? I tried entering this for a food in ‘My Foods’ Carbs 15.4g sugars 1.4g fibre 7g but when I save the entry it changes it to carbs 8.4g sugars 1.4g fibre 7g why is it removing 7g from total carbs? If it was called net carbs I’d understand but it’s called…

Carb Goal
Currently, I need to lose about 150 lbs. I'm doing as much keto as I can, but I need to find out what an appropriate carb (grams) goal is? I don't think it's ultra realistic, at first, to be 20 g or below, but what are the parameters where one can be in ketosis as far as range of carbs eaten per day? Thank you!

Net carbs are not subtracting sugar alcohols
My net carb calculation never matches the label on the food. I often scan the bar code. It doesn’t seem to subtract sugar alcohols from the total carb macro. Also allulose and acacia gum should be subtracted from total carb.
Why are sugar alcohols not being deducted from carbs along with fiber to come up with net carbs?
I have a premium subscription for which one of the benefits is a calculation of "net carbs" But my app does not take sugar alcohols into consideration when calculating net carbs. It only deducts fiber.
Show Net Carbs on Desktop App, Under Nutrition Macros
Sometimes, it's easier to add food to the diary using a laptop, but I have to go to my phone to see accurate nutrition macros breakdown. The phone app reports percentage of net carbs, the desktop app shows percentage of total carbs. I'd like to see consistent reporting between the apps.

Hello! I have been a member for about a year and still greatly appreciate this app. In the past I have always struggled with eating, I would skip most meals and bury myself in work. Unfortunately this would result in poor nutritional choices when I did eat. Last year I focussed on developing habits, putting attention to…

Add tracking option for Total Carbs
Since you cannot always trust manufactures to be truthful about net carbs, it would be good to track total carbs. I follow both Gary Brecka and Mark Sission and both suggest that you keep your total carbs at 50 or under a day for a keto diet.
App's calculation of net carbs doesn't work for Allulose
I'm on a ketogenic diet and I'm using Allulose (a rare indigestible sugar) in my coffee and with my first snack after dinner. Supposedly it slows stomach emptying, reducing appetite, stimulates excretion of blood glucose by the kidneys, and makes it easier for the brain to use ketones. So I want to track my use of it. But…
Carbs vs Net Carbs
I am almost 50 and have turned into a very carb sensitive person. I’m in menopause which doesn’t help. Anyway, as per my Dr’s recommendation, I need to lower my carbs.

Carb Totals For MFP Rollups Off For Some Reason?
Hi there -- Im wondering why on the app each entry is showing less carb totals than it should. Fat & protein don't seem to be affected by this. Just attached one example but this appears to be affecting every single entry. Is this a bug or am I just missing something important here?
