There’s such a lot of information about this, not least in old posts on. CM.
i only check new foods now but I decided, and this is personal to me, that if carbs come from green leafy veg I go on net carbs because of fibre, if food has combined ingredients e.g. cream cheese, I go by total carbs as this makes sure I never inadvertently go over 20g. Sounds complex but in practice is easy.

Hi! I’m Pam - new to carb manager. When I put in my data I was told in order to lose 1.5 pounds a week I should have 17 net carbs and 17 total carbs. When I tracked my food yesterday it said I had 45 total carbs. I’m really confused.... The swerve sweetener alone has 12g of carb in a tablespoon. How the heck is it remotely possible to keep my total carbs at 17? Am I reading the data incorrectly? Please help! Thanks!

Carb Manager I noticed that it showed up correctly under net carbs, but showed the full amount under my total day full carb with a fraction like this for example: 12/17 total carbs. Do I just pay attention to the net carb total and ignore the regular carb total? I know people debate this all the time - 1 can’t survive on 17 total carbs per day! Thanks!
