When counting carbs do you deduct fibre?

[PeasandCucumbers]

Hi,

Very new to low carbing I’m confused about whether you deduct the fibre or not? I have read conflicting things about this online. The last few days I have averaged around 40g carbs but that is total carbs with no fibre deducted. If I deducted the fibre it would be quite a bit lower! Does this sound about right for a low carb diet?

I am veggie and trying to do the fast 800 but without paying for the online version so making up my own meal plan but not sure if my carbs are low enough!

All very confusing!!!

No - it's only American labelling that deducts fibre.

Oh crap biwi I've only just seen this. I was specifically told to deduct fibre to get 'net' carbs not 'total'

Always have done 😳 this is wrong?

In the uk/Europe labelling has already deducted it. In America they don’t, so people need to do it themselves. As a general rule of thumb if it has the spelling fibre then it’s already taken off, if it’s fiber it isn’t. This helps to know when you are thinking an American Keto recipe has a crazy high carb count, it’s because you need to deduct the fiber content.
