NET Carbs instead of Carbs

[Kikai]

There is a difference! If you are following, Atkins, Keto, Paleo or any of the LCHF diets, you do not count standard carbs, you count net carbs (Carbs - Sugar alcohol - Fiber). There is currently no option on your site at all that allows the entry of net carbs or a field for sugar alcohol (Erythritol, Xlitol, etc) to be able to calculate this in your macros.

Diabetics use this, as well as dieters for weight loss or training.

Please add a net carb option

Hi @Karilaw, thank you for taking the time to share your comments with us about the ability to add a net carb option. I noticed that a similar feature suggestion already exists so I’ve moved your post here. This helps to keep the forums more organized and for the team of developers to continue to track popularity and demand over time.  

Thank you again for your participation in the Community.

Dietary fibre is classed as a carbohydrate, but is indigestible to us humans. With this fact being out there, it does seem weird that Fitbit chooses to credit us with 4 cals in for a gram of stuff that simply passes through us unchanged. All nutritional calculations regarding carbs should not include fibre intake

The app should track net carbs as opposed to total carbs
