What are your substitues?
I have found that it is easier to substitute certain items in my diet easier than changing my whole eating routine. I've listed some of mine, but I'm interested to see what others are Eggs > Egg Beaters (20 cal per 3 tbsp or the equivalent to an egg and the southwestern style is awesome) Cream and Sugar Coffee > Sugar Free…

How do you log your net carbs on MFP?
I am a low carb-er. I'm adjusting/tweaking my goals today and am curious how other low carb dieters log their carbs? I take the overall carbs and subtract the dietary fiber and sugar alcohols.
