Carb Counter Calculator
Calculate total carbs, fiber, and net carbs for common foods by serving size.
Useful for low-carb and keto diets.
Carb Breakdown
Net carbs are the carbohydrates your body actually digests and uses for energy.
Net Carbs = Total Carbs - Fiber
Why net carbs matter:
- Fiber passes through the body undigested
- Net carbs impact blood sugar more directly
- Low-carb diets typically target 20-50g net carbs/day
- Keto diets usually aim for under 20g net carbs/day
Carb content varies significantly by food type:
- Grains and bread: high total carbs, moderate fiber
- Vegetables: low-moderate carbs, variable fiber
- Fruits: moderate carbs, good fiber
- Legumes: moderate carbs, high fiber (lower net carbs)
This calculator uses average nutritional data for common foods. Actual values may vary by brand and preparation method.
