First of all, congratulations for jumping on the Atkins train!
Total carbs are just that, the total count of carbohydrates in a particular food. Net carbs are the total carbs minus dietary fiber. In other words, if a food has 10 total carbs and 5 grams of dietary fiber, it would have 5 net carbs.
Hope this helps
