carb count

[Kat2969]

Hi all goog morning.

Well this is my third time around not second, and this time im sticking. I will be starting Atkins on monday give me a chance over the weekend to clear my cupboards and restock with lots of meat and veg.
My only problem been is that i can't remember how to work the food carb cout on the back of food lables. Would some very kind person tell me to save me going through the book. I live in the Uk so it would have to be that combination. However i would highly recommend anyone starting atkins for the first time PLEASE read the book.

Re: carb count

i don't know how labels work in the uk, but here you just look for the total carb count and if there is any fiber, subtract the fiber from carbs to get the net carb count.

I don't know UK labels either but suspect they are the same. Have you tried www.fitday.com, it really helps check the foods we eat out.

Good luck to you!! I'll be starting again tomorrow morning, so we'll be off on our journey at the same time!

I'm planning to use FitDay to tally my daily carbs. It's a great tool!

To answer your question: Usable carbs (what you'll count) = Carbs - Fiber


How many pounds until you reach your goal?

First, second, third or fifteenth time I would highly recommend READ THE BOOK!

Good luck in your journey.
