What are Net Carbs?

stephmc72

and how do they differ from just regular carbs? I'm trying really hard to watch my carbohydrate intake so I'm paying close attention to labels. I see on some labels it talks about Net carbs, which are usually considerably lower than just your regular carb grams. It looks like they subtract the sugar and fiber from the carb to come up with the net carb.

Can anyone explain what a net carb is, how it's came about, if it's applicable on all foods and if this is the grams I should be figuring??? I'm so confused.
