I do have a question regarding lettuce.
We are to have 2 cups "salad vegetables" and one cup "other vegetables" per day for a total of 12-15 net grams of carbs daily.
Let's just say for argument sake that I wanted to use only lettuce for my total salad vegetable. Measuring by cup, I would have 2 cups which is only 2 net grams carbs according to fitday. However if I went by weight, 2 cups weighed approx. 150grams which worked out to be 2.7 net grams carbs.
Also, if I used 2 cups lettuce for 2 net grams carbs I then would need to consume between 10-13 net carbs by way of my 1 cup of "other vegetable". In order to get the carbs, I would think I would be over the 1 cup amount.
I am very concerned about getting my daily intake of veggies correct and I don't know if I am overthinking this or have just taken stupid pills, but I seemed to be more confused as I go along.
Sorry for being "thick" and thanks for the help!!!
