Take total carbs and subract the fiber for your net carbs.

Terra,

Rachel is right. But in case you don't always know the fiber count. I use the US government to help me. It has helped me in the past.

You should always count NET carbs no matter what phase or LC plan your doing because fiber does not "digest" like the other carbs.

Another good site to track your food is:
