Question

Confused about Net Carbs

If the fibre count is more than the carbohydrate count, how is it to be included in the total? I've noticed even the Atkins Quick Bake Mix has more fibre than carbs but it's considered a 3 carb product. This is also the case with some vegetables. Can any one give me some advice on this. Thanks

Hi there,

This can be very confusing, because more and more manufacturers (and some carb counters) have already subtracted the fibre from the total.

If the fibre count is more than the "total" carb count, then that is a sure way to tell that the fibre carbs have already been subtracted.

It would be much easier if they could tell us.

Thanks Rosebud. That changes the whole picture for me and now I know why I'm not losing weight, as I have been eating way to many carbs.
