Fitday: Mussels are 12 carbs?

[burtonator]

I think I screwed up. I wasn't aware that certain shellfish had more carbs.

Fitday is reporting that a cup of mussels is 11 carbs. Can this be right?

"All shellfish" is listed on the acceptable food list...

Thoughts?

This threw me up to 28 carbs for the day! I *really* hope its wrong!

Man! I really shot myself in the foot:

"*Oysters and mussels are higher in carbs than other shellfish, so limit them to four ounces per day."

I totally forgot that.

I ate too many carbs today.. 28 :-/

I did exercise for 1.5 hours but still this SUX!

Don't worry about a tiny slip up like that, in the big scheme of things, it means little.
Did you deduct your fiber from the 28 carbs. Check it out.... I think you'll find your okay.

I doubt anyone has gotten fat by eating 8 extra carbs worth of mussels, so don't sweat it....it was just a good learning experience, that's all, no biggie!!

I remember going over by 3 carbs because of sauteed mushrooms when I was in Induction and I was pretty concerned....but they're MUSHROOMS!! lol...not potato chips, not chocolate cake...just mushrooms and butter...I laugh when I think of it now.
