What’s the difference between carbs and net carbs in food?

To figure out how many grams of carbs you consume daily do you count net carbs or carbs?
But should I count net carbs or carbs when finding out how many grams of carbohydrates I consume in a day?

Carbs are all of the carbohydrates contained in the food. Net carbs are the carbs minus the fiber content. Fiber slows the "burn" rate and lessens impact on blood sugar.
