Default Re: QUestion about veggies & carbs

Ok I have an issue here.

I don't drink coffee, so I have no need for cream. I don't drink anything that isn't water (occasionally the crystal light ones, but gave those up last week)

If I add up ALL my carbs in a day, assuming I have (which 99% of the time I do) a salad with my lunch meat, and green beans or broccoli or tomato or whatever veggie I'm eating with my dinner meat, 3 oz of cheese, 2 eggs and bacon for breakfast I am getting MAYBE 15 carbs a day.

Since I can't any anymore cheese, and I can't have anymore veggies since I've had my allotted cups of them, and I don't do sweetners, and I count EVERYTHING, even average UP on eggs and such for carb content.

WHAT am I suppose to eat to get to 20 carbs?

I know there are other exotic veggies, but being blunt and honest Aktins is a very expensive diet already compared to eating high carb foods. I can't just spend 10 bucks on a meal all the time. So realistically, I'm pretty set into the veggies I eat (in addition to hating several of the veggies on the list just out right, find them terribly distasteful)

I realize a lot of people probably get in a few carbs from counting sugar substitutes like splenda, but I don't get those. I don't get the ones from cream either, nor am I getting any from lemon or lime juice.

I don't mind the foods I eat. I like them rather a lot actually. I'm just wondering if I should be eating another cup of SOMETHING veggie oriented???
