Maybe a stupid question about carbs?

[Gonnaloseitfinally]

So I am using fitday and i really enjoy it. My question is that it posts my carbohydrates as over 25 but the dietary fiber i eat is around 8-10 grams. Am I supposed to subtract the dietary fiber to get my true carb intake?
I'm on day five of induction and am feeling pretty good as i just got over the jittery and tired stage.

Yes, you've got it! Subtract the fiber for net carbs!

We count only "net carbs" on Atkins.

Net carbs = total carbs - fiber grams (- sugar alcohols)

Fiber is a carb, but it doesn't affect blood sugar because it isn't digested. So we don't count fiber.

If you set up a fiber goal in fitday - it will subtract the fiber for you. You can enter a min goal of 1 and a max of 100.
