Question

net carbs?

When totaling my daily carbs, should I use the total carb count for vegetables or subtract the fiber from the carb count and use that number? Thanks for you help!

You subtract the fiber and use that.

That's right. And you can do the same on labelled foods.

Subtract the Fibre from the Total Carbs and you get the Effective Carb Count. (ECC). That wasn't in the original Atkins in 1972, nor the 2nd edition in 1990. But it is in the later editions (blue cover and red cover). Protein Power Plan also says to do this.
