Re: not sure about zucchini
Yes, muzza. That's close. I just plugged it into Fitday and got these numbers:
1 c. raw zucchini has 18 calories, 3.8 grams carbs and 1.2 grams fiber. When you deduct the fiber, you get 2.6 carbs per cup.

Re: not sure about zucchini
Zucchini and yellow squash fall into the category of summer squash, which are way less starchy and carby than winter squash. Winter squash are the acorn squash, hubbard squash and the like.People who say it can't be done, should not interrupt those doing it.
