Indeed, it would also be a good idea to invest in a good, accurate carb counter ... Corrine T. Netzer's Complete Book of Food Counts is terrific, $7.99 US .. great for when you're not online. Our carb counter tool (from the orange menu bar at the top, look for Low Carb Tools) .. is great, over 6,000 foods, based on the latest USDA release, plus more.
Scrapple MIGHT be acceptable, if it's home-made and only fresh meats and fats were used. Commercially prepared scrapple, plus many home-recipes .. are heavy on the cornmeal, oats, grits or barley. Way high in carbs, 7 or 8g per small 2 oz portion.
Most shellfish have some carbs. Lobster, shrimp and crab aren't too bad, 1 to 1.5g per 3 oz cooked. Scallops are higher .. 3g per 3 oz cooked.
Peanuts aren't nuts, they're legumes, and higher in carbs than most nuts. Except cashews, which are WAY high in carbs 9g per 1/4 cup, which is a small handful. After Induction, acceptable nuts would include macadamias, brazils, almonds and walnuts.
Learn to read labels. If there's no nutrition data telling you the exact number of carbs, look at the ingredients. Any word ending in "ose" is a sugar of some type, and starches, wheat crumbs and fillers are everywhere.
