“How do I measure net carbs?”
How can I measure net carbs? Is there some equation? How do I do it? I'm planning to take on the Keto diet and I understand that this is really important for the diet.

I do NOT endorse or recommend the Keto diet. There are healthier ways to reduce weight that are sustainable.
Primarily, look at the food label and subtract fiber from carbohydrates. Then you can add the totals up and get your net carbs.
To calculate your net carb intake for the day, take your total fiber number and subtract it from your total grams of carbohydrates. For example, after a sample day of beginner keto eating, I consumed 33 grams of carbs and 13 grams of fiber. 33 – 13 = 20 net carbs — not bad!
The simple way to do this is to subtract the fiber from the total carbohydrates. You can use an online food diary to see this information and set it up to track carbohydrates and fiber. Some trackers automatically calculate net carbs by subtracting the fiber.
