The dude with the carrot reminds me of Matthew Lesko, the guy on TV that wears a bright yellow suit with question marks all over it. He tries to sell his books regarding secrets to getting money out of the government. LOL

sue and thirteenlbs, i have you added!

Are we supposed to be sticking to 1 - 2 - 3 cups of certain veggies? Or can we be a bit liberal on measurements to get our net carb amounts??

stick to what the book says on pages 125 and 126 for your induction choices. we looking at 12 to 15 net carbs for induction.
lets say for instance that you have 2 cups of the salad veggies on page 125. lets say 1 cup endive , 1/2 cup mushrooms and 1/2 cucumbers. you get eat 1 cup of pumpkin from the list on page 126. your carb count is 24 minus 9 fiber = 13 net carbs.

use this week before the challenge actually happens to check your numbers. i've done this and it's been pretty interesting to see how my own numbers have come out. it's making me think more about what i am doing.

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

Just to double-check, we should be using the info off the cans of veggies if the info is different from FitDay's, right?

[jimmie 48]

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

tmn, i would use the numbers on the label. you can choose to put the information from the label into the customized foods catagory on your fitday. you only have to customize the food once. from then on, it's in there and the next time you eat it you can just click on the boxes and add it to the food eaten for the day.

i've got you brady, scotter, emma and new kid obkbbby!

remember, everyone, these are NET CARBS totals we are shooting for.
