The Atkins Carb Counter assists with portioning food and tracking carbs that impact blood sugar.Ītkins science allows us to calculate net carbs in our products more accurately. Net Carbs = Total Carbohydrates – Fiber – Sugar Alcohols (if applicable)Ĭalculating the net carbs for foods without labels, such as fruits and vegetables, is easy, too. You can calculate the approximate number of net carb grams of a low carb product yourself by looking at the information provided on a food label: Foods that are low in net carbs, such as nutrient-dense vegetables and low glycemic fruits like berries, don’t have a significant impact on blood sugar and therefore are less likely to interfere with weight loss.


1 The net carbs number reflects the grams of carbohydrate that significantly impact your blood sugar level and therefore are the only carbs you need to count when you do Atkins.

When you follow the Atkins diet, aka the Atkins Nutrition Approach, you actually count grams of net carbs, which represent the total carbohydrate content of the food minus the fiber content and sugar alcohols (if in the product).
