Guest guest Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 I don't measure vegetables other than the starchy ones that qualify as carbs. Nobody has ever had a weight problem caused by too many bell peppers, mushrooms, and leafy green vegetables. :-) On 11/10/05, n <mtpaper@...> wrote: > Curious - I know BFL doesn't place a limitation on vegetables, aside from > the carby ones.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 I agree with you and the others who responded. I just wanted to double-check that I wasn't alone. I know that vegies are carbs, and was wondering if they were increasing my carb count too high for the day. But, as I have no intention of weighing my lettuce, I'll continue as I am - Thanks n T C1-W11-D4 At 03:45 PM 11/10/2005, you wrote: >I don't measure vegetables other than the starchy ones that qualify as >carbs.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 I switched from iceberg to romaine or spinach lettuce about six months ago. It's so much better. What do all of you use to season your salads? The bottled dressings have too much sugar content for me, even the low calorie versions. > >I don't measure vegetables other than the starchy ones that qualify as > >carbs.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 I usually put my protein on my salad, and therefore, the seasoning from the protein seasons my salad. Alternatively, I use Flax Oil, or lemon. I think I used some salsa once. Truthfully, my salads are so interesting (to me) they don't need much else. I add some halved grapes, or 1 Tbsp sunflower seeds, or < 1 Tbps of raisins.... or cut up orange or strawberries. And grated carrots. Sometimes I'll used a bottled dressing, if it has 70 calories for 2 Tbsp. Rarely. n T At 11:37 AM 11/10/2005, you wrote: >I switched from iceberg to romaine or spinach lettuce about six >months ago.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 PS - I also add my brown rice, or other grain, to my salad. I really like the combination and texture. I do that for my 16 yo daughter too. Or chunks of leftover sweetpotato.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 I love my salads too... I especially love putting my cottage cheese right on top.. it gives me that extra moisture that I need to feel like I have a gererous amount of ranch on it.. I also pre bake weekly a batch of potatoes and dice them and add right on top.. basically my whole meal is in that salad.. carb/ protein /veggies... take care, Amy n <mtpaper@...> wrote: I usually put my protein on my salad, and therefore, the seasoning from the protein seasons my salad.
