12 veggie carbs in today

lucid, the time of your post was right after midnight as far as i can tell. is this the total for the 25th or the 26th? i am thinking 25th. check the chart for me please and make sure of what you see next to your name. i have a blank space for the second day but i do believe i need to scootch that 13 over a spot.

i am guessing you totals should be
23 april 13
24 april 13
25 april 12

right?
this is why i asked for everyone to post the date because some peeps are half way round the world and my today is their tomorrow.

HI! I haven't been posting my dates so here they are

April 23 - 17 net grams
April 24 - 17 net grams
April 25 - 18 net grams ( my yesterday )

Thank goodness for jicama or I wouldn't have made it yesterday. My 8yo DD got hooked on it, also.

Has this happened to anyone else...I'm getting my net veggie carbs in but my daily calories are way down.Too low actually ( about 1000 calories/day) So is my protein and fat intake because I'm just not hungry.

Well, let see how I do today. I'm stocked with plenty of veggies now!!

pugs, thanks for updating.
i've also found that upping veggies had lowered calories. i've seen this on my fitday for a long time but it really reinforced things during the practice week i did last week. i have a higher calorie count than 1000 but i'm still much lower than i was say, 6 months ago.

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

Thanks for the post "Jimmie". I'm using this challenge to force me to find a new, and even healthier, balance in my life. Lower calories is ok but today I'm shooting for at least 1200. With the veggie carbs, of course!!

I can imagine, but hey you guys are experts compare to some of us, I'm green as a cabbage LOL actually thank you both for this challenge, i have never eaten so many veggies in my life, but i am surely making up for it.

Lets all show this silly old veggie man that we'll shred his carrots, which are high in GI and happily trade it for a Cauliflower......Whioooooooooooo!!

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

Thanks for this awesome challenge Silly and Jimmie! It's really enlightening... and I'm actually having reasonable portions of higher carb veggies that I've been scared to eat until now. Like... I never had more than say, a tablespoon of beans before now, but today I ate a decent sized tuna & bean salad (still heavier on the tuna, of course).

My veggie carbs are 27 for today (Thursday).
