Acorn Squash ??

[manita]

Does anyone know if acorn squash is acceptable? I got some last week at the farmers market and I am drolling over it!

Nope, sorry, it's not allowed during Induction. Only spaghetti and summer squash(looks like a yellow zucchini) as well as green zucchini is on the Acceptable Foods list, page 126 in DANDR and they are on the 1 cup veggie list.

According to Fitday.com, 1 cup of cooked acorn squash has 30 carbs minus 9 carbs of fiber for a net carb count of 21 carbs!!!

btw, are you using Fitday to keep track of things? Here's a link to help you with it if you aren't:
