on dr atkins induction ,it is listed as an under 10% veggie so i've been eating them all along with my salad. the carb count is 3.9 per 1/2 cup and the dr. says you can have either 3 salads or 2 salads and 2/3 c. of listed 10%veg. so i chose green beans and sometimes i have coleslaw made with mayo,mustard,black and red pepper and horseradish. there's a lot of variety out there if you think about it . i always plan in advance and prepare if need be so my lunch or whatever is ready. on tuna fish -if i plan to have for lunch i make ahead of time so i can take out . if i wait to make then it is too tempting to get something else if your tired or just got home.thanks for all the replies about the green beans.glad to help out.wawtigress
