Question #2 why did I get a link insstead of a picture?

You get a set of standard cooking measuring cups (you can find them in the cooking utensil area of most stores). Then you put the vegetable material into that.

If you use drinking cups, you may not be getting an accurate measure. Drinking cups vary anywhere from 6 ounce (3/4 cup) to 16 ounce (2 cups) capacity. This might not a be a "big deal" with a very low carb vegetable like lettuce or spinach, but higher carb vegetables like tomatoes, onions and spaghetti squash are about 5 net carbs per 1/2 to 1 cup.

Re: the picture...you need to put [img] in front of it and then (with the same brackets) /img after it in order for the picture to show up.
When it does, just check the size that it's not so big it makes people have to scroll over to see it.
I have a Harley-Davidson badge on my helmet....and I ride a Yamaha Vino 50....lol I tell people it's a baby H-D.

I guess what im askin is can you pack the lettuce in the measuring cup or can it be loose? One of the side salads at McDonalds is that about a cup or 2 cups? I pick out all the tomotoes and carrots. Im on the road most days so its fast food places and quick stops for my meals.

Moochiecat...you ride that the most important part. put a Harley sticker on your Vino and 95% of people would think its a Harley *lol*

DANDR 2002 says "loosely packed". I don't eat at McDonalds so I'm not sure of the amount of lettuce they put into their side salads. However, I have measured the side salad at Burger King. The lettuce is about 1 1/2 cups. The tomato and onion, combined, comes to about 1/2 cup.

Didn't work...hmmm
You may have to post that picture somewhere like Photobucket and then link to it there.
Photobucket will give you three options, one will have the [img] brackets around it already so you can just cut and then paste that into your signature.

I tried the signature thing...get the same results....Im not real good at these internet things...mostly use the internet to find neeked pictures...*naughty grin*

I would guess McDonalds and BK side salads are about the same.

Has anyone seen anything like a guide for eating on the road? Kinda induction stull for the traveler?

Thanks
