Count net carbs or actual carbs?



Recommended Posts

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 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?

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
