Tracking net carbs can be a helpful tool if you’re following a low-carb diet. Net carbs represent the carbs that are actually used by the body as energy and are calculated by subtracting dietary fiber and sugar alcohols from the total carbs. These hearty breakfasts feature up to 20 grams of net carbs — all under 370 calories per serving.
