Do you all count NET Carbs?? Or just total carbs??? I see in my wrap that I make my turkey wrap in that it's high in carbs : 20 carbsbut it has 12 grams of fiber and 1 gram of sugar.... what would the net carbs be???

When I count anything, I count net carbs as in carbs minus fiber as I know the benefit my body gets from the fiber.... A lot of people will tell you to count total carbs, not net carbs. I guess it is a matter of opinion! Lea

Your net carbs of that wrap would be 8. Take the total carbs - the fiber= net carbs. If you can handle the wrap, enjoy it!! Anjanette

Net carbs are the carbs which are absorbed and affect your blood sugar. It is the total carbsminus the fiber. The wrap sounds great.

I only count SUGAR. That is what will lead my 150# back to me.

P.S. My year + long absence has NOTHING to do with my WLS, or my type of WLS. See my profile.
