Default too much fiber?

I know it sounds crazy but when I look at my fitday sometimes and see the carb sount so high even though fiber counts for most of it, I get kinda freaked out.

Could too many carbs even though most are fiber knock you out of ketosis?

Today I am at 28g carbs and 19g fiber which puts me at 9g of carbs but seeing the numbers so high worry me. Should I cut back on overall carbs and fiber too or should I get all the fiber I can and not worry?

I keep my carbs to around 20 a day but I am not only eating induction foods.

No, definitely not. It is 100% impossible for your body to break down fiber into sugar. Go ahead and keep the numbers up there - just try to have at least one low fiber meal or snack with which to take your supplements. Fiber interferes with the absorption of certain nutrients.

What about soluble fiber?

Sometimes it doesnt list if its soluble or insoluble.

Also I take supplements with 3 meals a day as per the instructions on my multivitamins. Is this a problem?

Thanks,

MJ

Protien power recomends you get like 30g of fiber a day. You need fiber for regularity. If anything worry about not getting enough.

well I ended up with 26g of fiber today
would be 29 if I eat this cup of broccoli later on

I am glad to know I am not eating too much fiber.

The carb counts seem so high and I dont want fiber to knock me out of ketosis
