    Butter Lettuce

    I'm not sure I'm posting this ion the right area but I'm sure it'll be moved it I didn't
    I discovered something at my Safeway about a month ago that I've really been enjoying. Butter lettuce. Also known as bibb lettuce. I don't care allot for romaine lettuce, too chewy for me. And iceberg lettuce is just crunchy water. But I do like crunchy water Anyway Butter Lettuce is somewhere in between. But I couldn't find it anywhere on fitday. So I went into a website that told about it and it said it had 1g of sugar! What? I guess I just assumed...........where does the sugar come from? Does all lettuce have sugar in it? Should I stop eating it? Carbs are 2g with fiber as 1g per 1/2 cup. I usually eat about a cup a day. It's wonderful with tuna and mayo.

    That even though I overeat in private, my excess poundage is there for all the world to see.

    Re: Butter Lettuce

    No you shouldn't stop eating it. All veggies have a little natural sugar, but the amount in bibb lettuce is not enough to worry about. Natural sugar does not do as much damage as table sugar. The legal veggies you have to be careful with are tomatoes, onions, etc. Those in the 'other' veggies list.

    Enjoy your lettuce.
