net carbs
Fiber-adjusted carbohydrate count
Net carbs is a dietary measure representing the carbohydrates in food that affect blood sugar, calculated by subtracting fiber and sugar alcohols from total carbohydrates.
The concept is central to low-carb and ketogenic diets, where practitioners track net carbs rather than total carbs: This protein bar has only 4 net carbs.
The term has no official regulatory definition.
