I have my husband to thank for the realisation that in the UK and EU our food labelling already shows net carbs, so I should not be subtracting the fibre.
So in the USA a packet may say
Carbs 6.2g
Sugars 3.2g
Fibre 2g
So net carbs is 4.2g
In the UK and EU the same food would say
Carbs 4.2g
Sugars 3.2g
…
Fibre 2g
So net carbs is 4.2g, as already stated.
The fibre is not straight under carbs, which is a clue I suppose. My other clue was some items I tracked were coming up as negative net carbs!
I don’t know what the situation with net carbs is in other countries, but I just wanted to post this in case anyone else didn’t know.
I have now changed my tracking app to track total carbs so it doesn’t do the incorrect calculation for me. Thank goodness this was only on my 5th day of keto!
I hope everyone has had a great day!
