(Atkins, South Beach, CAD, Sugar Busters, Protein Power, etc.). Read the book for the plan you are following -- surely you will find your answer -- then come back and tell us what you found. There are way too many variables for ayone to answer a question like that without knowing what plan you are following, what stage you are in, what your current weight is, how close to your target weight, etc.  SignaturePeter 270/228/180 website: http://users.thelink.net/marengo They aren't the lowest carb veges out - certainly not for induction. But they are acceptable after induction, as long as you count the carbs. Try this site: http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/cgi-bin/nut_search.pl It's very good for seeing the carb counts of many foods. -- Tara www.dazzled.com/lowcarb - my homepage > Hi!

Not particularly, but I eat small quantities of both on a fairly regular basis. There are lots of foods that are medium carb but don't bother me (coffee, for instance) in small quantities. Basically, not all carbs are the same, and it also makes a difference what other foods you eat at the same time. Onions are lower glycemic raw than they are cooked (same with carrots, only more so). The tomato is one of the very few foods that is more nutritious cooked than raw. Howard@FreshCoffee.biz http://www.freshcoffee.biz >> carosco321@aol.com (carosco321) wrote: ..............

I've been keeping the tomatoes at bay. Haven't had much of any since starting. I've been thinking of adding a small amount slowly now and see what happens. My recommendation for a great egg breakfast is: 1 tomato, sliced up and fried with olive oil and a bit of salt. (I prefer to slice the tomato while holding it over the frying pan, so I don't lose any of its natural juices on the chopping board.) Reduce to the consistency of your choice. Then add the eggs to the frying pan and cook how you like them. YUM.

A few slices of tomato are only a few carbs, but tomato sauces are concentrated tomato cooked down, and tends to be carby. Signaturejamie (jamiemck@newsguy.com) "There's a seeker born every minute." But you usually don't use a whole lot. FitDay gives 18 less 3 fiber, net 15 carbs for 1 cup of tomato sauce. That's a lot of tomato sauce.

A 3 inch diameter tomato has 8 grams of carb of which 2 are fiber. A large onion has 13 grams, 3 of fiber. Green onions, 1 cup chopped have 7 grams, fiber 3.
