Small question, do you include fiber in with your daily carb intake?

[Nike22]

So I'm trying to go lowish carb cutting for summer, about 100 g on off days 200-250 on training days.

So when you're being careful with your carbs do you include fiber or not?
When most of my carbs are brown rice, sweet potatos, pinto beans, etc. sometimes 100g of carbs is about 20g of fiber. What do you recommend?

I always take fiber at night. Was on Keto for the last 4 weeks of my most recent prep. Coach told me that these fibrous carbs wouldn't count.

Yeah. Now brand psyllium husk caps. Year round too

 

[qbkilla]

I count all carbs.

Do what is easiest for you. The important thing is being consistent.

You count fiber…..so you realize 100g isn’t enough. So you bump to 150g daily

If you didn’t count fiber…and you eat 100g carbs, and you find it’s enough.

You pull back and see the big picture….your eating the same
Amount of food, just counting differently.

To a point. If your eating broccoli and cardboard, obviously that would skew my example

For sure, try Garden of life Raw organic Fiber. Its hard to get the 30 grams you need daily without supplementation. You can mix it with any liquid and drink it with your meal.

I subtract fiber from total carbs.
Say 6oz sweet potatoe is 30g total carbs , 4g fiber so I count 26g carbs.
