Question about FitDay

[DiL]

My husband and I started this journey 8 days ago, and so far--great!
For me-11 lbs gone, only 49 more to go. My husband is down 8.5 lbs. As we are both well over 50 years old, we are thrilled!

I have just recently started using FitDay to very closely track what we eat, as many here have suggested. But I'm pretty sure that it does not subtract fiber carbs from the carb total. I can't find any way to "edit" it or change the net carbs my self. Please tell me I'm right--or I've gone over today!

Thanks in advance for your help, all the great info and advice on this site has really been helpful!

The online version of FitDay does NOT subtract fiber from carbs...you have to do that calculation yourself. There is no way to modify that in the online version. So if it says 32g carbs and 12g fiber it would be 20g NET carbs.

The PC version that you pay for and download does have the net carb feature in the food log. Personally, where you are a new user with FitDay, I would continue doing the math calculations for net carbs with the free online version. You may want to check out some of the other free food trackers out there too to see which one you like best.
