Re: UK!
Are you having your 3 cups of veggies all in the one meal, Ginette? It is better to spread them across the day to even out any blood sugar 'spikes'. So have some with each meal if you can.
Make sure you also include other veggies than just lettuce - mushrooms, peppers, cucumber, radishes and celery count as 'salad veggies' and have more nutrients in them than plain old chewy water (lettuce)
And if you only have 2 cups of the 'salad veggies' you can have a cup of the other list - broccolli, cauli, brussels, onions, tomatoes - too!!
Remember the 3-4 ounces of cheese limit as well.
No, thecarbs mentioned on ourlabels is the 'net' carbs number after the fibre carbs have been deducted.
The only time you would need to add them together would be if you are entering a custom food in www.fitday, where you have to add them together for a 'total carbs' figure to enter plus enter the fibre carbs as 'fiber', so fitday (being a US programme) can do the maths.
