Overview of the Carb & Meal Tracker
Atkins® Carb & Meal Tracker helps you manage carbohydrate intake and supports weight-loss goals by tracking both total and net carbs across meals. It simplifies monitoring over various timeframes — daily, weekly, monthly, or long-term — and offers tools to plan and evaluate your eating patterns.
How Net Carbs Are Calculated
Net carbs are the amount of digestible carbohydrates that affect blood sugar. The tracker subtracts fiber and certain sugar alcohols from total carbs to determine the net carb value for each item and meal, making it easier to stick to an individualized carb target.
