Alright so i will use this as an example:

I have Flaxseeds, 1 serving has 4 grams of Carbs, 4 grams of fiber. This equals to how many grams of carbs?

4 grams.

However, the body can't use most of that fiber for energy and it passes through the system. So the "net" or energy carbs are nearly zero.

So since I'm doing keto, Teacher bread (made with flaxmeal) would be almost 0carbs? Im going 20 carbs a day, will this affect my carb intake? A LOT?

What are the actual carb/fiber numbers on the bread?

Different diets have different rules to follow. Anabolic Diet, which is really more carb cycling and avoids ketosis gives limits for carbs-fiber. AD avoids ketosis because you can end up burning through muscle in constant ketosis combined with training.

I've seen other low carb diets not have the fiber caveat.

That's not bread stats, that's flaxseed stats.

ohh, bread stats, ok: from another forum

75g flaxmeal
2 large eggs
1 tbs olive oil
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt OR 2 tsp cocoa and a sachet of splenda

Mix all ingredients together, pour into a greased bread tin or (better) a silicon mould, bake in a pre-heated oven for 16-18 minutes at 200 celcius. It's done when a toothpick comes out clean.

From memory, it comes out at something like 596 cals, 29g protein, 52g fat and around 2g net carbs a loaf.

That's more like it. I've posted a microwave muffin using similar ingredients.

The cocoa would carry a bit of carbs, but otherwise you're fine if monitoring net carbs counting that as 2 g net.

It's probably 2 g net.

But I think from reading all of your posts, you are completely lost and grasping at various quick fix straws. First, it was extremely low calories, now it's keto. Both are ways to burn through lean mass if you don't know what you are doing.

I'd advise you to take a deep breath and work on a clean, balanced diet. Maybe a little lower on carbs and higher on fats than a maintenance diet. But in the end a diet full of vegetables, lean proteins, healthy fats, and some fruits. Maybe some starchy but fiberous carbs after workouts. Go for a reasonable caloric deficit. Get used to eating healthy.

Lift hard.

Adjust things as you go and learn more what your body responds to.

I just think all this energy you've spent trying to find the quick way is going to burn you out and leave you set for a rebound after you've killed your metabolism. Your energy would be better spent learning the basics first before trying to get too fancy.
