Re: Question about "Other Carbohydrates"

I think carboydrate is kind of a catch all category. Whatever can't be categorized as a protein or a fat becomes, by default, a carb. I'm pretty sure the only carbs you will able to deduct will be the fiber ones. That leaves 25 carbs just for breakfast!

I'm not sure which rung you are on, but even if you are on the grains rung, these waffles would not be a good choice. They have refined flour and sugar which are definate no-nos on Atkins.

If you'll look around in the recipe sections, you will find some recipes for pancakes that are Atkins friendly and so much healthier.

I hope that helps.
