Net Carb Calculations Query

[bambinaUK]

Ive been asked today about what happens if a person is stirctly adhering to counting net carbs and that when they subtract the fiber this results in a - minus number??? e.g

25g Carbohydrate
28g Fibre
= -3 Net Carbs


How would you figure this into your daily amount???
My initial thoughts would be to just subtract 3g from the daily total, am I right??

If it is a UK food, Bambina, the fibre is listed seperately in a different section of the label, so has already been deducted from the net carbs.

yep UK food labels are different from UD labels and your total carbs are your net carbs.
