Default Re: Why can't I have a full 3 cups of salad like the serving size says on the package

It does get confusing.

The idea is to spread your carbs out over the course of the day. Also, while you want the majority of your carbs to come from the salad and veggies, you don't want that to be your only source of food. So, you have a percentage of fat/protein/carbs.

When you go to OWL, rung 1 you can add in 5 more grams of induction friendly veggies/salad. Trust me, by the time you do that, you are looking for other options than salad otherwise you feel like that is all you eat! Certain veggies give you more carbs in a smaller/denser amount.

You can try using fitday to track your precentages. (www.fitday.com). There are some helpful posts on the forums about using fitday.

Hope that helps a little. We have very helpful moderators with a wealth of information too.
