Default Trouble Getting 20g Carbs Daily

I restarted induction on Sunday, as suggested by many (I was on my third week and hadn't lost since the first week and a half). Anyway, I am trying very hard to follow the induction plan to the letter, but I am finding it difficult to reach 20g of carbs, especially eating only 2cups of salad and 1 cup cooked veggies per day. I've tossed in a few olives and a celery stick or two for snacks as well, but still I am only at 15 carbs for the day and I'm full....I really don't want anything more and I don't want to force myself to eat when I'm not hungry.

I'm also including some cheese each day as well, but if I had too much, then my daily calorie intake goes through the roof. (I use fitday.com) The rest of my intake is protein and fat, and I'm eating regular servings (small), but the calories on those add up quick.

It's all kind of confusing, since I have discovered that counting carbs is most important but watching calories is also important.

I have been entering my activities on fitday.com as well, and even with the small increase I've made (more to come soon), it seems you burn a remarkable low number of calories for all but the most strenous, which, by the way, I am not ready for!

Still hanging in there but trying to figure this all out.....
