Beansprouts and Chillis's Induction friendly?

[iantheace]

The packets would suggest so for my finger chilli's and beansprouts, beansprouts have 1.1g carbs per 100g, and chillis 1.7g carbs......

Neither are on the list, but I would think they are fine.
So what are we making with bean sprouts and chili?

I thought all kinds of peppers were on the induction list. Aren't they?

How many peppers? They still carry a carb count. If they are jalapenos, you're looking at about a carb per small pepper. Use fitday.com (it's free) to calculate the food values and to keep yourself honest. It also will include carb measurements for sprouts.

Its 3 quarters of a normal pepper (the really big things) , they are 2.7 carbs per 100g. They are also beansprouts, not spouts (the long white things).

I only eat 2 meals a day now i cant really take 3.

Todays intake was:

This meal came to(5PM):

Chicken (250g) no carbs
pepper slices (90g) 2.5 carbs
diced finger chilli (25g) 0.5 carbs
Mushrooms 1 cup No idea on carbs
about 60g of beansprouts 1 Carb
So its 4 carbs + the mushrooms
12 Oz Serving of water
+ Small amount of garlic mayo to dip 1 carb

Breakfast (10AM):

3 Slices of bacon 0.5 carbs
3 medium eggs 2 carbs
48 Oz Water
Yes i woke up and drank 4 pints of water.

Leaves me at 7 carbs + the mushrooms. I also noticed peppers and mushrooms seem to give you quite a bit of fibre so helps the digestion etc.

Bean sprouts are on the list. The "Other Vegetable" list.

Out of curiosity, why are you only eating 2 meals a day? You should consider eating a snack because we aren't supposed to go more than 6 waking hours without eating. Part of the weight loss on this diet depends on stabilizing your blood sugar, going too long without eating will only destabilize your blood sugar.
