FYI, it's not 1c for all raw veggies: Serving Sizes for Fruits and Vegetables - What the Serving Sizes for Fruits and Vegetables Are

One serving of celery as defined by USDA is 5 stalks!

You are correct. The USDA counts 2 cups of a leafy vegetable as 1 cup----which just confirms what I think about the Federal government, but that's a different topic not appropriate for a weight loss message board.

(click the little link for the table to see it.) But for celery, the USDA says two 11-12 inch long stalks as "1 cup"

Also.. when eating things like lettuce that is light in weight.. just filling up a 1 cup measuring cup is not the actual serving. It would be like 1.5 - 2 cups to equal the weight of one solid cup of food. It is best to weigh out foods if you really want to be accurate in your measurements.

Some one had a weight pdf for veggies on this list somewhere. I will see if I can find it.

You're referring to this thread:http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...p-measure.html

soliwit explanation of what she did is below:

Ok what I have done ages ago is I went to the usda website and made a list of all veggies we're allowed and looked up what they say is the weight for one cup

So if you use soliwit's equivalent list, the weight is equal to 1 cup's worth of the vegetable, not 2 cups or 3 cups.

I assume you are eating iceburg lettuce (instead of romaine or spring mix or something more nutrient dense). But yes, that's the deal.

no i only eat romaine

Last time I checked my bottle of red wine vinegar it had carbs in it.. I use white vinegar in mine because of that. You may want to check your vinegar to see.
