Does this math matter?

[Pie4me]

Do you subtract the fiber "grams" from carb "grams"
to get total carb count or subtract the % fiber from carb %.

Or does it not matter? (terrible at math

I subtract the grams. Ex 8 carbs - 4 fiber = 4 net carbs.

Re: Does this math matter?

always subtract the fiber from the carbs to get net carbs. count net carbs, not total carbs.
Notice it says "net carbs".....

You should eat 12-15 net carbs a day of vegetables. These salad vegetables are high in phytonutrients and provide a good source of fiber:
