As far as i know the only way to track net carbs on here is by doing it yourself. I switched over to Carb Manager just for my tracking because it automatically does net carbs for you and shows you in a nice circle graph how many you have left as you go. If you scan something, say a sugar free treat, that also has alcohol…

okay..aha i guess that makes sense. Thank you..

True! Im totally okay with some adjustment. I am typically "50 - 100g carb diet", i just know i always go over whether it be carbs or cals or whatever. So if i aim for 50, ill prob end up at 60. And then on weekends allow myself to to 100. I use to only count calories. Then tried cutting out carbs because i was eating ALOT…

Okay I will try that! Im not very petite, 5"3 and 185 right now. and work a desk job but do try and get out walking or to the gym a couple times a week. Make sure i hit my 10,000 steps by the end of the day on my fitbit.

I agree, I dont eat that on a regular basis and didnt have a choice on what kind of beef. We went out for lunch today at work, and it was a large hamburger.. i got it with no bun, but seemed to be the lowest carb friendly thing on the menu. For all i know i logged it wrong, but being from a restaurant there was no way of…

I like how much less bloated i look and feel eating less carbs. And its been the only things that has made the scales drop even when i was just counting calories before and staying in my goal mfp provided. I cant go with what i enjoy eating...because that pizza and chocolate aha i usually go over in carbs. I really am…

Sorry, that works out to 50g of carbs, 59g of fat, and 132g of protein. I never really hit my protein. and fats..i never use to hit but now have been going way over the last 2 days. It ends up giving me 1256 calories per day. Which i hear can be to low, but have also gone over the last 2 days..

Thats good to know! I tend to eat atleast one cheese string per day or add it into salads and stuff. I do try and weigh it, but i dont trust my scale aha i feel like it should be more ounces than what it is saying.

Thank you!

Okay! Thank you! I will give that a try! does it make any dif, now that im not so strict keto, if i continue to use cream or sweeteners in my coffee as appose to milk? Im use to eating certain higher fat foods because of doing keto, and not sure now that my carbs are up, but still relatively low, if i should be keeping…

Probably not to the best of my ability no. I track everything and use packaged sweeteners in my coffee so i go by what the box says per package instead of eye balling what i think a tsp of sugar is. I weigh for the most part all my meats/seafood on a digital scale. Vegetables or cauliflower rice by leveled off measuring…

Thats good to know! Because on the higher carb days you can allow a treat if you want it. Do you rotate through the 3 dif amounts each day? or do a week of each? I havent gained any back (but only lost 11) but will drop a pound/gain a pound and have been like this for about a month now since I had my first cheat and fell…

Thank you! Your right, i lost alot of bloat and water weight (as well as 11lbs kept off) doing keto and thats why I liked it. And notice when i do eat alot of heavy carbs i feel disgusting afterwards now (even though they are super filling). But I dont like the bloated heavy sluggish feeling anymore from eating alot of…

Well im around 5"4 (maybe 3) and Starting weight was 196.6 and current weight is 185. MFP has me at around the same calories for a day. Its just not as easy to track net carbs on here which is why i use the other app.

Sorry, Yes I am. I honestly dont know what I was eating before for cals, but I know it was alot of junk food so obviously alot more carbs than I am eating now. When i was doing keto with trying to stay between 20&30 carbs I was eating to little, and usually around 800-1100 carbs for the day. Ive re adjusted my macros to…

Following just because I would like to know the answer as well. As far as i knew each day was a new start and you couldnt carry over but that might not be the case at all.

I find mfp hard to keep track of net carbs. I stopped logging here and started using Carb Manager. From the quick look i seen, Your day looked fine to me. Im not super strict keto though. Cauliflower, brocoli and green string beans are basically all i eat for vegetables with meals. or Cauliflower rice. I have the opposite…

I have been on keto for about 2 months now. I lost 6lbs right away. Then it slowed down a bit. Ive lost 11 in total now but caved into a cheat and fell off track , much harder to get my head back in the game now. Its not an easy road to change your eating style completely, but def worth it! Good luck!

I do it. Have been for 5 weeks now. MY first week and a half i dropped 6lbs. Then slowed down and bounced up and down between a few, which is frustrating..but am now down 10lbs. Make sure you google recipes and ingredients because the same few foods get tiring fast. You be starving if you eat all your carbs in a few small…

I would try and keep my alcohol to lower carb choices like vodka lime soda water. Maybe 1 meal a day higher carb whether it be breakfast one day then supper another night? that way you are not going overboard for every meal and feeling grose by the end of the first week.

pictures work best for me. though i am not far along in my journey i notice the odd clothes fit better, but can def see a difference when i took a pic last week to where i was 4-5 weeks ago.

I have been following a low carb diet, trying to watch what i eat and then trying to get to the gym atleast 3 times a week ( i dont always get there even that much). I usually fast walk on the tredmill or do another cardio type machine (which they all work my legs out because im out of shape) for about 20mins then try and…

Following. I also had 2 boys back to back and started going to the gym again and always looking for new stuff to try.

I do workout in a fasted state.. but im up at 5, at the gym by 7 and at work by 830. So by 930, specially smelling everyone else heating up breakfast items im starvinggg lol

I have melatonin/magnesium at home but im assuming its completely different doses than what i would get with the combo. I have started going a bit more often but like someone mentioned its very small. I eat a ton of coliflower or coliflower rice, but that doesnt do much. I also eat my fair share of no sugar added russel…

aha canned fish or chicken i dont do. Nor avocados..or sauerkraut.. or olives..or onion. But thank you aha I realize now im way to picky of an eater to be asking these kind of questions aha

I would love to know which works best as far as creams and gels go because even though i dont do any intense workouts,but after alot of stairs or just end of week from every dif form of cardio machine and stuff my knees have been killingggg me. I tried to change up my routine and do a squat today and i got halfway down and…

Magnesium helped me tremendously when i was preg and couldnt sleep or got leg cramps. I am on week 3 keto and find the odd night i have trouble sleeping or get crampy so have invested in a melatonin/magnesium supplement i want to start taking.

oohh interesting. That could be a good option for the days i go to the gym and forget to grab something. They are like 2 doors down from my gym. I just associate subway with thick carby buns and deliciouussss cookies aha

Thats a good point!
