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

the peppers are the only thing?
this is part of the beauty of going up the rungs. induction is more strict with fewer choices but then a whole world of new stuff can be added.

i'll tell you something, i used to not like certain things but something happened and i like things now that i would have never given a second thought before.

Boy, there's sure not a lot of bang for the buck with those lettuces, is there?

Endive (1/2 cup) is only 0.4 NC. Well, I sure squashed that endive in to get that half a cup's worth!

I like Elizellen's description of lettuce - crunchy water.

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.)

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

I so thought that I was getting enough- why do they say loosly packed then? I can understand loosly packing the other veg- but the lettuce? Yesterday I tracked my veg carb and it was only like 7 net grams! and I ate 2 cups of salad (comprised of romaine and tomato and cucumber) and 4 large spears of asaparagus...I eat almost the same thing everyday! I guess this will totally encourage trying all the veg listed on the acceptable lists!

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

Well, for one, next week, I'm not getting any more lettuces with only a stinking 0.2 or 0.4 NC per half a cup! Got to make those two cups of salad count. Frankly, I'm getting quite frustrated because the closer I look at this, the more I'm realizing I'm getting more than 1 cup of Other Vegetables and not enough of the Salad Vegetables.

Someone clue me in: If we get only one cup of salad vegetables, does that mean we can have two cups of the other vegetables??

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.
