Keto diet carb counting

[Lizzieluvs]

What does everyone use to check carb content? I have been using the my fitness pal and other websites but I’ve noticed they have differing numbers. Looking up bacon my fitness pal says zero carbs but then google says 1.4g per 100g same with red peppers when I’ve checked it has been quite a big difference in amount of carbs.

I use the UK supermarket web sites to check carb numbers. They may differ slightly between themselves, but they are generally accurate enough. Some apps use US data which includes the fibre content in the total carbs which I find confusing.

I read the labels and add it up in my head.

Bear in mind they are all approximates so it is not surprising they vary.
One pepper may be sweeter or more ripe or grown in different soil or had more rain whilst they were growing or ... than another.

Remember when using Google that the way the US report carbs is different to the UK - US will include fiber which is not digested so will need to be subtracted. Whereas the UK carb labe will exclude fibre so nothing to subtract.
