What is the hype around all the net carb marketing we see on food labels everywhere. Should I track only net carbs, or total carbs? Have you ever wondered why your calories and macros don't seem to match up in MyFitnessPal, or your tracker? It may have to do with net carbs only nutrition labels...
Show Notes
Have your macros in your daily food tracker ever not lined up with your calories? Have you ever walked around the grocery store and noticed all the products saying 'net carbs'?! What are net carbs vs total carbs, and which should you be tracking?
Today's episode we'll discuss how the net carb idea took root and why we see it everywhere. We'll also talk about how it affects your tracking in MyFitnessPal, because it could be the reason why things are a bit off in there.
Toward the end of the episode I give a few tips on what to do if you feel your nutrition plan isn't working. I lay out the questions I usually ask myself and clients before I make any adjustments to the nutrition plan.
