    I have been using my fitness pal as advised via this forum. As I think this is originally an American app should I subtract fibre from carbs to get the correct amount of carbs I am taking.

    Yes. Some of the entries people have submitted to the database have notations like “Net carbs” after them, which means they’ve already subtracted fiber and any sugar alcohols, but most of them are straight from the nutritional panel which in the US means carbs and fiber are separated. I just mentally subtract the fiber column from the carb column.

    Thanks a lot Esnecca that means my intake today is not nearly as bad as I thought I am under 30g
