Fat?

[not2late]

I really think you need to get the 2002 edition of the book. In the 1972 edition and in the 1992 edition, vegetables were present but they took a back seat to the proteins and fats.

The majority of your carbs should be vegetable carbs. Heavy cream and eggs have carbs. Heavy cream has about 0.4-0.9 carbs per tablespoon depending on the brand. Many heavy cream brands include "mono glycerides" or "di-glycerides" in their ingredients. Glycerides are sugars. I'm not sure if fitday.com takes that into account. So 2 tablespoons of heavy cream is about 2 carbs. sour cream has about 1 to 2 carbs per tablespoon.
1 egg has about 1 carb. 1 ounce cheese has about 1 carb.

1 cup cucumber has about 2 net carbs.
1 cup broccoli has about 4.5 net carbs.
1 cup Cherry tomatoes has about 4 net carbs.
1 cup red pepper has about 3 net carbs
1 cup onion has about 11 net carbs

Also commercial salad dressings have carbs. Hidden Valley Ranch dressing has 1 carb per 2 tablespoons.
