Well, silly me, thinking all squashes were created equal.
And silly me, for assuming DANDR leaves nothing out.
I am on the veggies rung, and when I went shopping last night, I happened to notice that squash were on sale--all types! I had checked the book before I left, and though I did not see all squashes listed under induction veggies, the missing ones were NOT listed as starchy veggies either.
So I purchased Butternut and Acorn squash, because I remember my mom cooking these as a kid, even though I never ate them then LOL.
I found a recipe for Butternut squash, sort of like faux mashed potatoes, and went for it. I mashed them up and they smelled delish. I began to eat them and I thought WOW this tastes sweet. So I double checked that the salt I put in was INDEED salt and not sugar, and it was salt. I was already getting full, so I had a very small serving. I checked the carb counter in the back of DANDR, and noticed it was pretty similar carb-wise to pumpkin, which is allowed on induction. So I was still like, OK no problem.
However, I double-checked on the board, and I found that Butternut is considered a starchy veggie. Do you think I screwed up royally? My other carbs during the day were from 3 cups of salad veggies, 3 oz cheese, 1tbsp cocoa, 1 tbps heavy cream, for a total of about 18 carbs...adding in the squash, that totals about 25 on the nose.
Do you think this will be a big problem, plan wise? Obviously I know to throw out the rest of the cooked squash <crying> but will this affect my progress?
