Default Fitday Question

I just started using fitday and want to know if you subtract the fiber from the total carbs because when I entered the info for La Tortilla low carb tortillas it shows 11 carbs, the package says net three after deducting the 8 grams of fiber
Thanks

Yes...subtract the fiber from the carb count to get the net carb. Fiber is not counted in your carbs.

Hi Pookette,

Do not subtract the fiber from the carbs when you are entering the tortilla in as a custom food! Fitday will list carbs and fiber separately in the nutritional summary at the top of the page. Enter 11 carbs, and 8 grams of fiber. When you've entered in all of your foods at the end of the day, you will see how many total carbs you've consumed...subtract the total fiber...and that's your day's carb count.
