Re: 7th Semi Annual Veggie Challenge

My turn. Let's see...

Breakfast:
250 g kohlrabi [6.5 net carbs]

Snack:
250 g green beans [10.63 net carbs]

Lunch:
95 g leeks [11.74 net carbs]
50 g arugula [1.02 net carbs]
100 g spinach [1.43 net carbs]

Snack:
250 g frozen Brussels sprouts [10.15 net carbs]

Dinner:
250 g pumpkin [15.05 net carbs] (I froze a few bags last autumn and wrote the raw weight on the bag, so I'm going by that)

So, my net carbs from vegetables were 56.52 g.

Re: 7th Semi Annual Veggie Challenge

Just finished my calculations for today 13.5 net veggie carbs
mushrooms, green onions, broccoli, green beans and 1/2 avocado.

Great job!

In case anyone is wondering... while avocado is technically classified as a special category food rather than an Induction veggie, I have allowed them to count towards the minimum requirements in past veggie challenges, and will do so again in this challenge.

My turn. Let's see...

Breakfast:
250 g kohlrabi [6.5 net carbs]

Snack:
250 g green beans [10.63 net carbs]

Lunch:
95 g leeks [11.74 net carbs]
50 g arugula [1.02 net carbs]
100 g spinach [1.43 net carbs]

Snack:
250 g frozen Brussels sprouts [10.15 net carbs]

Dinner:
250 g pumpkin [15.05 net carbs] (I froze a few bags last autumn and wrote the raw weight on the bag, so I'm going by that)

Wow, G! You and jimmie sure do know how to get in those veggies And I like the way that you spread them out over the whole day. Nice!

Re: 7th Semi Annual Veggie Challenge

Ohh I am so proud of myself ~ I had alfalfa sprouts on my salad for lunch! Totally loved it!

(Of course then my daughter says to me..."Cool Mom, when we get the goats [which are building a shed for], you can feed them alfalfa from the store!" HA HA.. "No Honey, they can just eat the thistles and grass outside, we are NOT planting alfalfa right now!"....Then I, in my possessive state say to her, as I am clutching my new found veggie in my tight, white-knuckled, fist..."DON'T you dare feed these to the goats!")

Just had to share. Loving all the thoughts and the new cabbage recipe.

Thanks Mitzi for starting this thread, it really made me step out and look beyond the romaine lettuce, cucumbers, and tomatoes!

17.2 net carbs. Spinach, romaine, tomato, cucumber, spaghetti squash and a new vegetable- brussel sprouts. Not crazy about the sprouts, but I really like spaghetti squash. Makes me not miss sweet potatoes so much.
