How do you count Cauliflower carbs when you steam it with salt? All I can find is raw and boiled with and without and what a dramtic difference between raw and cooked - I don't want to mess up my counting
Thanks!
Thanks!

Re: cauliflower carbs
Per Dr. Atkins' Carbohydrate Gram Counter
0.5 cups steamed cauliflower =
2.6g carbs
1.7g fiber
0.9 net carbs

Re: cauliflower carbs
yes thank you. These computer programs are driving me nutty and i am such a meticulous accountant.
Is there a really good book or source that I can use and jsut tally stuff by hand. I hate havign to customize all these foods and then Fitday doesn't deal with the fractions...so that's jsut not accurate enough for my perfectionistic ways

Re: cauliflower carbs
Corinne T. Netzer "The Complete Book of Food Counts" is the book I use. In almost every case it is right on the mark with Atkins carb counter. It gives you calorie, fat, carb, fiber, protein, etc.
Easier yet, I just got a digital food scale that has a code you punch in that gives you all that in a second!
When in doubt about veggies, measure it raw and count that. Depends on how much you cook it as to how much it cooks down. I don't cook my veggies much so they are still crispy and cook down very little.

Re: cauliflower carbs
Fitday makes me absolutely insane so I figure everything in a food journal done the old fashion way~~~paper & pencil. I use Dr. Atkins' New Carbohydrate Gram Counter. You will find that different books & there are some variables. Find one that you like & use that one consistantly.
