How can I find the option to see Net Carbs?

The option to use Net Carbs instead of Carbs isn’t available in all settings or regions within the Lifesum app###### .

Here’s how the option to track and view Net Carbs is enabled.

Requirements to Enable Net Carbs Tracking:

To see the option to track Net Carbs, you need to:

• Select a Keto Program or Keto Meal Plan in Lifesum.
• Set the app language to English.

Only under these conditions will the Net Carbs option become available.

Why Net Carbs Isn’t Available in All Regions:

The calculation of Net Carbs is primarily relevant to users in the U.S. because of differences in how carbohydrates are displayed on nutrition labels:

• U.S. Nutritional Labels: Carbohydrates on U.S. labels include fiber, so the formula to calculate Net Carbs is: Total Carbs – Fiber = Net Carbs

• European Nutritional Labels: Fiber is already subtracted from the carbohydrate total on European labels. This means that in Europe, Total Carbs = Net Carbs.

As a result, the Net Carbs feature is not shown for European users, as it would not provide any additional value in these regions.
