>> I told you how I am counting them.>>

I really need to see it though.

For example ... what's your count for the Cheese Baked Eggs recipe? Each item and a total.

For the cheese baked eggs, using Fitday, I calculate:

2 large eggs at room temperature (.8 net carbs)
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese (.4 net carbs ... I used the dry grated)
2 teaspoons sweet butter (0)
2 tablespoons heavy cream (.825 net carbs)
Salt and pepper to taste (pepper has carbs but we'll ignore that)

That adds up to 2 net carbs ... according to Fitday.

The Atkins site says 2.4.

What net carb count did YOU get?

>> Total: all serving n/c - 62.4>>

One isn't expected to eat four servings of each of the items on your menu, so the 18.4 net carbs would be the total of one serving of each of the items you have selected.

Remember though ... the coconut soup isn't allowed on Induction.

Does that help?

LOL!

Just another of the many "errors" there!

They did count net carbs for the bars though!

Eat it the next day. Or eat it with someone else. Or sometimes a recipe asks for an egg to make 4 servings... and they can't really tell you to use 1/4 of an egg.

Yeah I was thinking maybe a it was for more than one person, but then some of the other meals were for 1. Blah... I am giving this more thought than it is worth, lol. I just like to know the particulars of things when they don't make since, lol.

lol, yeah I guess we figured it out now, lol. I just wanted to make sure I was counting n/c correctly, even though my sum was not equating to what they had posted, but Georgiana figured it out, lol. Thank you for bearing with my silly rant.
