From my understanding, the “net carbs” is a term/calculation that was created for diets such as the Atkins diet. The example I found was that of a banana.The total carb count is 31g. The total fiber is 4g. So the net carbs = total carb minus total fiber = 31g — 4g = 27g of net carbs.
I feel this “calculation” is a poor measure of the quality or health of the product. A much better measure of the quality of the product would be the ingredients list.
