fiber

when counting grams of carbs do you count total carbs or net carbs (total cards-fiber)?

for instance i ate 40 grams of carbs yesterday but 24 grams of it was fiber, so do i put that i ate 16 grams of carbs or 40?

if i do count it as 40 is it likely that i was knocked out of ketosis

From what I understand, you count net carbs.

Carbs - Fiber = Net carbs

As long as you keep net carbs limited to 20-30g a day you should be fine.

all the information i have read say net carbs is what matters..atleast that is what I have been counting

No, do not count fiber into your carb allotment for the day. Get as much fiber as you can. If I recall correctly, the U.S. is weird for having fiber counted in the total carb category of the nutrition panel. I believe in places like the UK, fiber is counted separately and is labeled as such.

ok good because life without fiber is ummm....painful to say the least

Don't count fiber against any carbohydrate number you're trying to hit.
