Re: Net Carbs
Christa, net carbs are carbs minus fiber.
So if the label says 7 grams carbohydrate and 2 grams fiber, your net carbs would be 5.

Re: Net Carbs
You don't write where you live. Sunny is right, if you are in the US, net carbs are carbs without fiber.
On the other hand, if you live in Europe, the carbs written on the labels are net carbs. So, if a food has 4 carbs in 100 g, then those 4 are net carbs. The amount of dietary fiber should appear separately."Get action. Seize the moment. Man was never intended to become an oyster."

Re: Net Carbs
no, sugars are net carbs... that's exactly why we don't eat sugar on Atkins (except small quantities naturally occurring in some foods)"Get action. Seize the moment. Man was never intended to become an oyster."
