Count net carbs or actual carbs?

[Success2013 186]

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?

[VSGKirk 855]

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.

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.

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