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

I've decided that veggies have too darn much fiber. It's funny -- usually I like subtracting the fiber (makes me feel like I'm getting carb freebies!), but this challenge makes me see it differently!

Like Pugs said, this is a great challenge to increase awareness and healthier eating for all of us. Thanks, Silly and Jo.

LOL! I bought Spinach because I thought it was a higher carb veg. If I eat 2 cups of fresh it's only <1g net!

Are sugar peas and snap peas the same exact thing?

yes,

Sugar snap peas
sugar peas


A pea with an edible pod and a delightful sweet flavor. Sugar snap peas are fun to eat raw as a snack or add them to simply stir-fries. The are a great add to a crudite platter with a simple dip.

I'm going out in a little bit to purchase some pumpkin and see if I can find kohlrabi. Going to make some cheesecake muffins for b-fast tomorrow morning.

18 veggie carbs for me today. Thanks Mrs Jimmie and Sillygirl. This is a challenge that has opened my eyes. I believe this will kickstart my weight loss again. I never realized how bad I was at guessing. I was undereating on the veggies big time. Not anymore, thanks to you two.

Today I can report I've done better....21 veggie carbs with 7 fiber = 14. I had 1 cup snow peas, a cup lettuce salad with 1 cup tomatoes.
