Hello,

How is everyone at LC Land today? I have a question. I made Chicken soup and I put in squash and zucchinni and Brussel Sprouts... Then after I ate a nice big bowl, I went and checked the Carb Counter on this site.. And it said Brussel Sprouts had 8.96gr of carbs per 100 grms... But I only ate 2 sprouts... How do you fiqure that out.... I quess I should have checked sprouts first but I did not think...Is that considered a slip? If I went so far over the induction count of 20grms.....well actually I am up to 25grms I was not eating enough grms...

I started induction 3 weeks ago
started at 155
now at 146,7 depending on how I look at the scale
goal 135

Thanks in advance for any thoughts or suggestions...

Sprouts also have fibre and you can deduct the fibre from your count.

I love sprouts and generally work on the principle that the effective carbs is no more than about 1 carb per sprout.

The 20g limit is not a magic number and the bar is set low to account for most people.

No need to worry, no harm done, enjoy your sprouts.

Thank You Rustpot!!!!! I will sleep better tonight. Heah, can you tell me what you mean by affective carbs? And how do you determine that? P.S. What a cute picture....

I've just looked up brussel sprouts in the carb counter. They are 5.15 effective carbs per 100g (per 3 and a third ozs). I think you can eat them so long as you count these carbs.

When you work out the 'effective carbs' you subtract the fiber from the total carbs.

Eg If a thing is 8g total carbs but 3g of these carbs are fiber which you can't digest you end up with 5g effective carbs.

Hope this helps
