Dietary fiber

[Jen8675]

Why doesn't fitbit deduct dietary fiber from your total net carbs???

Hello @Jen8675 and welcome to the Community.  I moved your post to the Healthy Eating forum, a better fit for this topic.

Edit:  I found this information after doing some searching.  The FDA regulates food labels in the US.  Manufacturers list net carbs on packaging, but there is no legal definition for net carbs.  This is why they aren't included in the nutrition labels.  Fitbit uses the FDA nutrition labels.  I can't comment on any other country's database.

Good point, guess you have to do the adjustment yourself and only enter in the net carbs as per the package label or whatever the basic % might be in case it's a whole food e.g. fruit or veggie?
