It’s suddenly dawned on me, MyFitnessPal is an American site. So it adds fibre into the carb count - whereas British nutritional values are separated. So all the values it gives, we need to subtract the fibre from the carb value to get actual carbs. So for the last two months I’ve been having even fewer carbs that I thought.
This page (https://www.ruled.me/keto-calculator/) helps you determine the amount of each macro for your own circumstances. For me it says 20g net carbs or less, which I’ve been doing, it seems. I’ve set MyFitnessPal to 40g which seems to roughly cover it. Anyway, just take off the fibre value from the total carbs to get the actual carbs. Looks like I can eat more! I twigged when a Diet Doctor recipe for keto nan bread said it was 1g per serving, and when I put the recipe into MyFitnessPal, it said 7g!
Feel a bit thick now, but I hope this post might help someone else
