Who deducts fiber from carb counts?

Do you deduct fiber from your carb counts? I'm just curious what works for you.

Thanks!

YES! Fiber isn't absorbed by the body!

I've got Atkins 72 version and the new version and they sure are different!

Everyone should subtract fiber from total carbs to get net carbs.

If you are using Fitday and want it to count the fiber for you, go into the left hand side of the screen under "Goals" and set a fiber goal. It doesn't matter which number you set it at... mine is set at 1 just so it will count the fiber for me. Now, Fitday will count the fiber for you! It will dislplay the number of grams of fiber along with your other totals for calories, fat, carbs, and protein. Just subtract your fiber from your total carbs, and you will have your net carbs... Easy!

Just in case any brits are reading, this doesnt count to them, our nutritional information has already been made to a "net carb"

We follow the 2002 version of the Atkins Diet here, so we subtract fiber.

Thank you for clarifying this, Emma! I had no idea...

Your labeling there is a lot better than ours, isn't it? And more accurate because the counts are per 100 grams, something like that?

Thanks again!
