Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / June 2005Carb count for 1/2 CUP of the following veggies?
What would be the estimated carb count for the following veggies (1/2 cup) combined with the following: cucumber, radishes, green peppers and celery Thanks! cucumber (raw 1/2 cup, chopped) 2 carbs <1 fiber radishes (raw 1/2 cup, sliced) 2 carbs 1 fiber green pepper (raw 1/2 cup, chopped) 5 carbs 1 fiber Celery (raw 1/2 cup, sliced) 2 carbs 1 fiber YMMV, DW > What would be the estimated carb count for the following veggies (1/2 cup) > combined with the following: > > cucumber, radishes, green peppers and celery > > Thanks! DW, thanks for your reply again but I think I confused you. I'm talking about a mix of those veggies measuring 1/2 cup! Not 1/2 cup of EACH of those veggies. :) Can you still help? Assuming an equal amount of each, I get approx 1.75 net carbs Hope this helps > DW, thanks for your reply again but I think I confused you.

I'm talking > about a mix of those veggies measuring 1/2 cup! Not 1/2 cup of EACH of > those veggies. :) Can you still help? Since the total carbs of the 4 veggies is 11 and there is a 1/2 cup of each - if you take the exact same amount of each vegetable and make 1/2 cup - your total logically should be 11/4 (4 1/2 cups) which would equal 2 3/4.

Not 1/2 cup of EACH of [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > 3/4. > Diane OK - I forgot to subtract the 3-4 grams of fiber - so it would be from 7/4 (1.75) or 8/4 (2) since one of the veggies said <1gram - so if you only counted 3 fiber and 11 total the carbs would equal 2. Diane Two cups not 4-1/2. Four veggies, 1/2 cup each, 4/2 cups= 2 cups.

I didn't say four and a half - I said 4 half cups which equals 2 cups - so since it was "4" half cups - you divide by 4 - my math was fine - my logic failed when I forgot to subtract the fiber which I did in my next message.

I don't even try to measure veggies with cup measures anymore. Much too much room (or not ENOUGH room) for variation. Weighing them is far more accurate.

I see you got your answer earlier. Here are some links for the next time you need to find out carb counts. http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/ http://www.nutri-facts.com/ http://www.fitday.com/ > What would be the estimated carb count for the following veggies (1/2 cup) > combined with the following: > > cucumber, radishes, green peppers and celery Are you aware that there is a book that tells what the Atkins plan actually is? Doctor Atkins New Diet Revolution editions 1972, 1993, 1999 or 2002. You seriously need to read it. Read does not mean skim. >From the front to the point where the recipes start, read it like a textbook. From the recipes to the end skimming is fine. If you had not read the book, or at least covered a lot of the web pages, there's no chance you can do Atkins bying making stuff up as you go. Atkins is far from obvious. It's the result of decades of effort to figure out how to beat what's obvious. All of those editions have a list of low carb veggies that are 5 per cup minus fiber. They also have a list of ultra low carb veggies aka salad veggies that are 2.5 per cup minus fiber. The ones you list above all appear in the salad list. So their total counts are all 1.3 per half cup minus fiber. They are high fiber items so call them around 0.5 if you deduct fiber. Being as new as you are, you should deduct fiber. Using total carbs is for people who started before 2003 when fiber deduction was added to the machine. |
