calulations for net carbs

[lucysmommy]

so am i right that you take the carb count minus the fibre count and that gives you net carbs?

Nope not here you only need to do that for American foods, in the UK you just count the total carbs on the pack. x

 

[lucysmommy]

haha cool
thanks for that

No worries... catches us all out. x

So if you are in the UK eating Atkins bars do you count the total carbs or net carbs on the packet onto your daily intake?
I find all this so confusing!

The net carbs... if something specifically says net carbs like the bars, shakes do etc then count the net carbs not the total carbs. x
