did I "earn" net carbs?
Yesterday I was messing with my settings... and didn't really think I'd changed anything big... but this morning... I entered my breakfast... and even after food (eggs and bacon) I have one net carb more than my normal amount?
It LOOKS like my activity from my watch is giving me a 'credit' of net carbs... but seriously... could be a good idea, but I'm not sure... anybody hear of this... or have success with it?

You probably have the setting that "credits" exercise against your macros?

Kat H ok, that makes sense. I kinda like this way... I’ll see how I do this week and switch it back if I need to.

I have always charted my burn rate with my consumed rate so I can see the numbers. This is the first time I have tracked burned carbs and it is a handy addition.
Personally I think it is a good idea to keep an eye on the burned rate.
If I am having a day that I'm dragging and can't get myself motivated to work out, not seeing a burn rate in the mix gets me to get up and move. I try to get at least an extra 500 cal burn a day and it is good to see the carb burn numbers.
I don't "eat them back" just like seeing the results at then end of the day and some days seeing the end result of a good day charting and burning is the motivation to keeps me from getting into my dogs' treats....cuz they get home baked treats that are better than most human snacks and right now, it's the only thing in the house with real (maple syrup/molasses ) sugar and (whole wheat) flour!!!

VickP so far I can’t keep up with the 20 net carbs, I can’t imagine right now eating through the “earned “ carbs at this rate too.
I just look at the subtotal before the deduction and I’m super happy with the results!
