Trying to do Atkins phase 1, Induction. Could someone look at my diary and tell me how to get my net carbs to 20 please?

    You don't have to eat 20 carbs, thats just the recommended maximum for the day. When I was doing induction I usually had more like 15g...then bumped that up to more like 20g in the next phase. Also, The green peppers that you added don't have all the values entered so that's probably another couple of carbs :-))

    I'm having the same problems. can't seem
    to stay at 20 carbs. and still get enough calories.
    btw.. net carbs are total carbs minus fiber? Is that right?

    Yes, minus the fiber, and sugar alcohols (if applic).
