hi there,

Just a note that mushrooms and lettuce are "unlimited" in the sense that you need to eat way more than what's considered to be a "normal" portion to reach the carb level. However, you should acknowledge the carb level, and not just write it off as zero Lettuce is very low, and you could have a huge salad for under 5g ECC, but it's not zero .... probably 2 or 3g. Mushrooms aren't zero either .. only the skinny little enoki mushrooms are "unlimited" for the 5g carb level, all other varieties you must account for the carbs. Be aware too, that shiitake mushrooms are quite high in carbs .. 2 mushrooms = 5g ECC. (I love shiitakes and was so upset to discover how high carbs they are )

Anyway .. just so you know that "unlimited" doesn't mean you can ignore the carbs, any more than you shouldn't ignore the carbs in eggs and cheese.


hth,
