if you are tracking your carbs, do you count the net carbs (like you do on Atkins Diet) or do you count the actual carbs?

I track actual carbs - but I set my daily goal keeping in mind that some of those will be fiber. If that makes sense?

I track actually carbs also but using myfitnesspal app you can view both.

I too track everything on myfitnesspal.. its the best thing

I track actual carbs. For the way my mind works if I focused on net carbs I'd try and justify less than stellar choices.

Actual..net carbs is an Aktins ripoff.

Can we track protein on mfp?

Net carbs, fiber is very important in our diet so if you are consuming some fantastic!

Can we track Protein on mfp?

yes, it is possible on MFP to track protein as well as carbs, sugars, fiber, nutrients, Water and exercise.

I do net carbs.... I always subtract the fiber.

Speaking of fiber, I heard a lot of good things about the Quest Protein bars so I ordered a variety pack. It came in a couple of days ago and tried one this morning ( I think it was called lemon creme) and it was pretty good. One great benefit is that the bars have a lot of fiber -- the lemon creme has 16 grams of fiber, 20 grams of protein and 170 calories.

They are more expensive but they really do pack a punch as a Meal Replacement...I'm looking forward to trying the other flavors.

thanks everyone for your input. I bought some sugar free Werthers candies to suck on and they are 4 carbs each, which concerned me.

Apple pie is my favorite. One I'm addicted. I drive 45 minutes. Away to by them. And. Health wise chips. They r awesome

To get net carbs do you subtract dietary fiber and sugar? Or just dietary fiber?

Just fiber. The sugar is the less healthy part of carbs.
