This calculator totals carbohydrates in meals or recipes for people monitoring blood sugar, keto targets, or general food intake.
The interactive carb counter loads right here. If it hasn't appeared, refresh the page.
Add each ingredient or food, its carbohydrate amount per serving, and the number of servings used. For a recipe, total every ingredient first, then divide by the number of portions actually served.
Total carbohydrates = sum of carbohydrate grams per serving × servings eaten. Net carbohydrates, when needed, = total carbohydrates - fiber - eligible sugar alcohols, though labeling rules and sugar-alcohol effects vary.
A meal with two slices of bread at 15 g each, 12 g from fruit, and 8 g from milk contains 50 g of total carbohydrates. If it includes 7 g of fiber, the simple net-carb estimate is 43 g.
Diabetes meal planning commonly uses total carbohydrates, while some low-carb diets track net carbohydrates. Follow the method recommended by your clinician or dietitian rather than switching when one number looks friendlier.
Add the carbohydrate grams from every ingredient, then divide the total by the number of equal servings. Weighing the finished recipe can make uneven portions easier to calculate.
