    cucumbers

    I was wondering if I had a large Cucumber, if that would count for my daily veggies? I figure it out to be 7 carbs?

      You should have three cups of veggies. The cucumber might count as one cup.... try some other veggies, too!

          Cocobelle is right!!!

          1 cup cucumber = 104 gr = 3,7 oz ½=1,85 ¼=0,93 1/3=1,23

              When you are in induction, eat according to the book. 2 cups of salad veggies and 1 cup of other allowable veggies or another cup of salad veggies. 1 cucumber probably won't add up to 3 cups. Good question! Stick with it!

                      According to the USDA database one cup of slices of cucumber weighs about 100 grams (3.5 ounces) and has 3.73 net carbs.

                      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!
