Default Re: Confused about DANDR and Net Carbs

Chapter 8, the subsection called "The Carbs That Count" goes into the whole subtracting fiber thing for net carbs or "digestible carbs" as the carb counter in the back of the book calls them.

Quote:
Basically, you can deduct the grams of fiber from the food's total carb count. I called the net number of grams.
This is one of the confusing things about the book---Dr. Atkins expects you to read it from cover to cover and carry-over concepts he introduces from chapter to chapter.
