one of my favorite snacks to have is sugar-free jello....is it okay to top it with whipped cream? I looked at the label in the supermarket and it says less than 1 gram of carbs....is it okay to have during induction? what brand is best??

Whipped cream would be OK in Induction. BUT BUT BUT BUT The stuff that comes in cans that you squirt out has SUGAR! How big is the 'serving size' at the top of the table that gives the carb count? It could be REALLY small - a teaspoon, perhaps. check that before slathering it on. On the other hand, you could whip up your own. Heavy or whipping cream (about 35% butter fat) has only 6.6 carbs per cup.

oh and also, do eggwhite omlets have the same amt of carbs as regular omlets?
|
Egg yolks hold the carbs (1 per egg) for the whole egg. So if you use only the whites, it should be carb-free. But the yolks also have all the major nutrients and are a fabulous source of many essential things. So it's a carb well spent to eat the whole egg.
