Fitday and NET carbs... 'doh!
I'm glad I realized this before I got past day 3 of induction....I've been putting my food intake into fitday and thought I was doing great, until I realized I was only looking at total carbs! I wasn't subtracting the fiber content and getting to NET carbs!
Which actually works out great for me because I know I can have more veggies later in the day.
A question however....sometimes when eating 2 c. salad and 1 c. other veggies (all from the acceptable veggie list for induction), I still won't reach 20 net carbs for the day ( this includes carbs from all other sources added in, although there aren't many during induction). So...is it more important to get close to the 20 net carbs by possibly eating 2 c. of other veggies, or is it more important to only eat exactly as described even if you end up with way less than 20 g carbs for the day?
