Hi Debelli,

First of all, congratulations on your success with Sugar Busters!

Many of those questions are answered in the book or on the Atkins website here.
If it is not on the list, it's not allowed.

Again, if she (or you?) reads the latest edion of the book, she'll see that the fibre grams are subtracted.

Lettuce has so few carbs it's not worth stressing over whether or not the cups are lightly or tightly packed.

I keep track of carbs by using www.fitday.com Perhaps that will help her.

Many of us have bacon and ham with nitrates - I prefer to not have them too often.

All the best to both of you!
