Carb totals question
Hi all, ive been wondering about how a particular food can have more sugar than net carbs?
I have created a meal which breaks the carbs down like this:
Carbs 19.2/42.0g
Fiber 13.5/38.0g
Net Carbs 3.3/42.0g
Starch 0.0g/(no target)
Sugars 8.0g/(no target)
I’ve been wanting to set a target down my sugars as I’m introducing fruits for pre- and post- workout while monitoring my insulin response but I’m confused as to how it could have more sugar than net carbs. I read the manual and it does say something like net carbs is carbohydrate that converts to glucose and thus excludes indigestible carb etc
what simple thing am I missing here
I would have expected to see net carbs higher like if the number above were reversed I’d be assuming that of 8g net 3g were sugars?
sorry of this is a dumb question or been asked a dozen times I couldn’t find it specifically in a cursory search here

I don't think that is possible. From what I know, sugar cannot be lower than net carbs. Maybe the food entry in your meal that is causing that has an error?
