Are You Eaing Your Veggies? Challenge #1

Unfortunately not. 2-3 cups of salad veggies. If you only have 2 cups of salad veggies, then it's 1 cup from the other list.

...grrr!!...

I agree! That's the beauty of rung one though - you can have more veggies from either list!

Forget the lettuce,as far as I am concerned the only thing lettuce is good for is conveying blue cheese dressing to my mouth.

Stuffed portabella's are the way to go!

Re: Are You Eaing Your Veggies? ~ A Boardwide Challenge

can someone tell me how I can get more bang for my buck?

I sauteed mushroom and yellow peppers today and had with romaine- only 3g net

should I stop measuring and have a bit extra? I only eat 2-3 pieces of cheese a day about 4oz

maybe I should use spring mix with other veg?

I would love some suggestions from people that have successfully maxed their veg for the day

LOL! I just did my fitday and as I wrote in my Stats Journal, I only had 12 NET veggie carbs today! I'm having 1.5 cups of mixed greens (collards, mustard and something else) which seems like alot to eat, but I have to!

Listen up people, especially Rung 1 ers! Here's what I did to bump myself from 7 - 12...Added sauteed onions to the greens, so I figure about 1/4 cup of cooked onions!

This is not easy, but I'm enjoying it very much

Great idea, Silly. I've been looking at mine too - my veggie carbs are low. This is going to be scary!

Another thing I'm going to do next week is experiment with tomatoes. Cooking diced tomatoes down to make a tomato sauce is a good idea.

How are we supposed to post our results next week? I didn't know if we were going to post daily or maybe a weekly recap. Is there going to be a separate thread just for posting?

Gotta have all this straight in my head by Monday!

Re: Are You Eaing Your Veggies? ~ A Boardwide Challenge

Since i will be on rung one (try saying that 3 times real fast, lol), I should have 15 to 17 veggie carbs, right? (net carbs of course.)

i would say the lower end of the 15 to 17.

if you feel the need to post daily, do that. it's perfectly fine. some won't report in at all, others will do it every day. if helps you to keep on track, post away!

no separate thread. just keep this one going.

Re: Are You Eaing Your Veggies? ~ A Boardwide Challenge

Uh oh...confusion is setting in.
I was on FitDay and my focus was 17-20 net carbs from veggies, so I was really paying attention to the carb count, and wasn't thinking, "I have to have 2 cups of this and 1 more cup of that". I was adding things like, 3 cherry tomatoes, 6 Romaine lettuce leaves, 3 cauliflower florets...".
Is that right, or I am goofy?

Re: Are You Eaing Your Veggies? ~ A Boardwide Challenge

This challenge has sprung forth a huge upheaval in our WOE! We are freaking out about veggies!!! Nice!
I bought some portobellos for stuffing.....and oh- 1 cup of green beans is 4 net grams of carbs...that's not too bad
