Total Carbs
Hi Everyone-
I am new on Carb Manager and I have a question about the categories in the right that are not in color (total carbs, fiber). What does it mean that they are in gray? I have gone over my total carbs (30 is what the app shows) even on the days I have stayed under my 20 grams of net carbs. Is that bad? Thank you for your help!

Total Carbs minus Fiber equals Net Carbs; those are data points used by the app to compute Net Carbs. If you want to track Total Carbs (which would be much more restrictive on the diet), you can go to ‘Settings’ and select them to track, but most people track net carbs. Net Calories is the same sort of algorithm.
if you’re tracking Net Carbs, then going ‘over’ Total Carbs is okay.
Hope this helps and welcome aboard!
