Fellow Ketoers - do you count total or net carb?

I had my RNY in September 2005. My weight bounced up to 192 over the last couple years. I started Keto on December 11th and as of January 15th have lost 18 lbs. I keep my calories btw 900-1000 and try to keep my total carbs under 13 a day (5% carbs, 25% Protein, 70% healthy fats).

I was curious how everyone else counts their macros and calories?

I only look at the total as well...from what I've found, those things with 'net' carbs usually aren't the best things to be eating anyway.

They are a way for companies to tout 'low carb', but in all honesty, 'whole' foods don't need 'net' carbs listed on the label, and I really like to try to eat whole foods as much as possible.

Yeah, total carbs is where my research led me to as well. Where does everyone try to keep their calories?

I am 9 years out and average around 1800-2000 calories a day to maintain my weight. I cut back to 1500 when I need to lose a few pounds.
