New to carb tracking

Just started using this app today.  I’m confused about what exactly net carbs is compared to just carbs?

    I just listened to a recent podcast with Dr. Eric Westman, one of the top low carb doctors and researchers around. He had the best definition of the difference between total carb and net carb counting:

    “Total carbs is prescription strength. Net carbs is over the counter medicine.”

    Net carbs equals total carbs minus fiber.
