I have a question regarding how to accurately count net carbs. I recently bought bread for myself, and I got the “Double Fiber Wheat” by Nature’s own. I was looking at the nutrition facts and it looked like my husband (who is on keto) may be able to eat it. It has 11g of carbs, 4g of dietary fiber, 1g soluble fiber, and 3g of insoluble fiber per slice. Would the net carb amount be 3g per slice? And could a person on keto occasionally eat it without breaking ketosis? Thank you!

Net carbs would be Total minus Dietary which would be 7grams net carbs.

Staying in ketosis requires us to stay under a certain number of carbs. For some of us, that number might be 40-50 net carbs. For others it might be lower. If weight loss is your goal, the fewer carbs you eat, the more likely are to see better results on the scale.

If a slice of this bread fits within your limit, then help yourself. Personally, I’d rather spend mine on vegetables or a bit of cheese.

I try to steer clear of ALL grains, especially wheat - I feel awful if I eat it, but more importantly in Keto, grains can cause sugar cravings and may make the process more difficult!

I only seem to count net carbs when I’m justifying eating something I know I shouldn’t…

#7

I count net carbs for veggies and eggs while for anything processed I do total carbs (baked goods, processed foods, etc)

Wouldn’t it be 4g? Carbs - Fiber - Insoluble fiber

No. On that label, the total fiber is 4g, which is comprised of 1g soluble and 3g insoluble.

11g total carb - 4g total fiber = 7g net carbs.

Its a trick… Damn marketers!
