Re: chicken.??? How much is too much...?
Well - garlic doesnt appear on the vegetables list for induction, only as a herb - so I imagine we are not supposed to eat very much of it, just as much as you would eat other herbs for flavour.
According to www.fitday.com, 1 clove of garlic is 0.7 carbs!! I couldnt find a carb count for the whole bulb. So you would need to count those carbs in your total, which would limit you to only a few cloves a day if you are going to eat your 3 cups of vegetables, eggs, cheese and sweeteners AND stay under 20 net carbs a day.
As for chicken, Dr Atkins doesnt give a maximum amount for the meats/fowl/fish we are allowed to eat but he does say we should eat till we are no longer hungry - not till we are 'stuffed'.
So once you are no longer feeling hungry you should stop eating and put any leftovers away till you feel hungry again.Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

Re: chicken.??? How much is too much...?
you are asking some of the same questions I ask how much protein is too high? the answer depends on your total cals. We are supposed to eat our fats at 65% and our proteins at 30% of our total cals so use your new fitday and see how much chicken you should be having based on your other foods at meal time. Then you need to remember we only eat enough food to satisfy our hunger so if it takes 3 bites or a whole chicken that is the right amount for you at that time.
Dr Atkins was very high on garlic as a nutrient power house so enjoy it as part of your herbs and spices but remember the 3 cups of veggies need to be the majority of your carbs,
