Question

Carb count question

Hi everyone,
I was filling out my FitDay foods yesterday and wondering about something. When you put in your carbs and there is fiber that is not subtracted in FitDay, how do you count it? Like take broccoli, it has around 5 carbs in a cup of flowerettes but it has almost 3 grams of fiber. Would you count it as 5 or 2 ??? Thanks,
Alli

It has a place to enter total carbs as well as fiber. You enter both. At the top by the pie chart it shoes the full carb count as well as the fiber count. You do the subtraction mentally at that point.

If you try to subtract the fiber from total carbs, or you buy a product where they do that, fitday flashes a huge red warning stating the calories don't add up.
