How do I track net carbs instead of total carbs?

Last updated on 24 Apr, 2026

The default carbs value displayed is total carbs, but we do provide the net carbs values as well. If you select the Detailed Nutrition Information for a day's nutrition totals or for a specific food/recipe, you'll find the net carbs value here.

If you prefer the main carbs value listed to default to net carbs rather than total carbs, you can adjust this in your Generator Settings as shown below. If you're using the mobile app, you can go into preferences in the lower right to find the Generator Settings section with this option.

When the net carbs option is selected, fiber will automatically be excluded from the carb calculations in all pie charts. This customization ensures that your data reflects your specific preferences and dietary goals.
