Mitzi, you can go over your range as long as your carbs are still withinin your personal range. I would think that would make the rest of your percentages off, if you're into percentage keeping. For purposes here, you need to be in the specified veg range for your phase.

Joy is an example of that. She's been tweaking her diet to suit her body and she put in for 30-35 veg carbs a day.

Greetings, Fellow Vegiteers!

There's some healthy eating going on over here.

Silly, my percentages are always off because I like fat so much better than protein. While I do note percentages, the only way I ever use them is to make sure that I don't go over 30% on protein... other than that, I don't really use them.

OK - I am happy to report that I tried a new veggie today. My only experience with asparagus has been with the canned kind. Hubby actually likes the canned kind with a dollop of mayo on top as a treat. Other than pumpkin and mushrooms, I don't like canned veggies... so I thought that I hated asparagus. I bought a fresh, 16 ounce bunch of them, and sauteed/fried them in butter and oil in a skillet on the stove. OMG! Very good... I ate the entire bunch for lunch. That was 28 medium sized spears! Filled me up, that's for sure.

So, today I had .88 cups of pumpkin; a salad that contained 2 cups of lettuce, few slices of cucumber, 2 slices of red onion, and a small tomato; 4 ounces of fresh green beans, 28 medium spears of asparagus; 1 raw, whole, red bell pepper..... TOTAL: 32 NET VEGGIE CARBS

Yay! Keep up the great work, everyone.

Jimmie, I see some veggies that I recognize, but others...I HAVE NO CLUE!!! What's the white thing? I recognize cauliflower, but the white carrot thing? Then you have some odd ones around the jicama...and other odd ones above the cauliflower and to the left of the carrots.

Today I had 19 net carbs from red bell peppers, cucumbers, Swiss chard, zucchini, broccoli, and cauliflower.

I have two kids ones is two and one is two months. I only have time to drop in and post my total which is 22 g net carbs. Tomarrow I will post specifics. One of them is sick and the other got shots today.

Re: Are You Eating Your Veggies? Challenge #2

Sorry to hear about your kids not feeling well, Vanessa. I hope that they feel better, soon. Don't worry about posting specifics when you have so little time. I think that the total number is what is required, and you gave that. I post specifics mostly to provide ideas for anyone who is stuggling to think of what to eat.

Best wishes to you.
