Net or total?

I thought the keto diet was based on net carbs but the ap is flagging me for total carbs in red box even though net carbs under 30? Total carbs 47. 56 y/o 5’11” 180# very active. Help please

  • Hi vadtrav! The app itself can track total carbs or net carbs.. you decide which you want to track in your app  settings  under "getting started". As far as which one the keto diet requires or recommends, I will have to let someone else answer with factual information.. my mother, husband,and myself all track NET carbs and we have lost a combined total of 78lbs since mid- January! So I think it's just a personal preference issue. The more fiber in the foods you eat that contain carbs is much better than earing foods with carbs that lack the fiber.

    Keto is usually done on net carbs. It encourages you to get you green veges in. You can change toe app to net carbs from total carbs because body builders usually are much more restricted and count total carbs so app allows for them to count those. Hope this is helpful.
