Thumbs up thanks Karen

Wow, this is terrific, lots of variety. Since we're using total carbs not effective carbs for the Calorie Boost days of this study, don't worry about the fiber counts.

You bring up another good point, that I've been noticing for myself too. That is using the weight of the food as the measuring guide. A spear of broccoli can weigh anywhere from 150 to 250g. Depending on how coarsely chopped it is, the cup measure could be way off too.

I was eating only 1/2 an avocado on the first week's Fat Fast day, since I read that the carb count is high-ish ... around 12g (less 5g fiber). That's for an 8 oz Hass (from California/Mexico). I weighed mine, it's barely 5 oz whole.

thanks for this!

Doreen
