If you (or anyone else out there) haven't gotten Fitday to count fiber for you, this is how you do it: On the left side of the page, is a place that you can click on to set a nutrition goal. Go there, and set a fiber goal... that is done by setting a minimum and maximum daily fiber amount. It doesn't matter which numbers you plug in... I have my minimum set as 1 and my maximum as 50... the numbers there aren't important. I just put them in, to get Fitday to count for me. After doing this, the fiber grams will show with the other totals for carbs, protein, fat. Just subtract the fiber grams from the carb grams, and you have your net carbs.

Good luck to you!

I have set up a custom nutrition goal for sodium...but it doesn't show up in the grid on the food tab-is that what you meant? I would *love* to get that working for net carbs I'm using the free online version...is this a feature of one of the other versions?

Hey, when you first click on any food you want to add to your day, go down and look at the carb total, if it has fiber and its worth the effort, then customize it. go "customize this food" and then subtract the fiber from the total carbs and enter under total under carbs, (delete fiber -enter 0), save your new food with name such as "Onion NC" (net carbs), just so you know which ones you have customized-
