I went ahead and entered them all in just now (or as close as I could get, some of them are hard to find) and I only had like 1150 calories! eep! I add cream and bacon grease to things and my calories are still too low. Darnit all. My carbs were low too at about 16 (6 of that was fiber!!) so I think I need to eat more broccoli and green beans and such, then slather it in butter to get those numbers up! | It is good that you are eating your vegetables, but as Liv said, keep in mind that they are limited to 3 cups during Induction. Maximum 1 cup of these can come from the "Other Vegetables" list.
It is important to track your foods in Fitday. When you move to OWL Rung 1, you will have to add another 5 g net veg carbohydrate to the amount of veg carbohydrate you had during Induction, while your other carbs (eggs, cheese, spices, etc.) should stay more or less the same. So you need to know how many carbs you are eating and how many of these come from vegetables.

"The truth is that temptation lurks everywhere, unless you deny yourself a social and working life and the attendant pleasures of eating out. I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.
Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
