You're right with the amount of lettuce. On the other hand, for e.g., 1 cup of cauliflower and 1/2 cup of spinach also have 5 g together. And if I have to choose, I'll go for some baked cauliflower w/ cheese and a spinach omelet rather than for 13 cups of lettuce.

The Power of 5 sticky uses the USDA Nutrient Database. That's why I don't think that sticky was the best idea this board has ever had---too many differences.

So, what is the best way to accurately calculate net carbs on things that don't have labels? I don't want to mess this up by miscalculating! I'm bad enough at math when the information is correct!! Thanks!  |

Simply weight them and then enter the amounts in Fitday. Or use measuring cups.

Yes, that's is what I had to do. I know I can add 5g of carbs, but I'm trying to add different veggies. I'm going to add collards since those aren't veggies I ate a lot of during induction. I think I had so many of the allowed veggies because I always for the most part chose two cups of salad greens, and always chose the cup of regular vegetables and switched it up every night just about.
