For me it was artichoke hearts. 4 pieces of the quartered ones are about 5 net carbs. Wouldn't have thought that. While to many it doesn't seem like that much, I stick to about 20 carbs a day, so that's 1/4 of my daily allotment.

    Tomatoes. It made me sad. I LOVE tomatoes... And maybe beans? I expected more fiber, I think.

    Brussel sprouts have serious carbs for a green

    FairLife milk is low sugar and high protein. Check it out! It is double filtered and tastes normal

    Mine was onions and garlic too. I also had some vitamins that had one carb per capsule, and the daily dose as six! Changed them once I realized! :smiley:

    GARLIC POWDER???????

    Omg, now I have to go check Cajun spice. I had assumed it was carb free.

    +1 for the fairlife, I finally have milk I can work into my day on a regular basis and the whole milk is deliciously creamy to boot.

    Values per cup:
    6 carbs
    150 cals(for the whole)
    13 grams of protein
    8g of fat

    I don't remember the calcium figure, but it's also higher than normal milk, so good for us women on birth control and or lift weights often

    Yeah, onions shocked me too. I thought of them as a meaningless food. More like an herb or a garnish.
    Me too!!

    My understanding is that is is fairly accurate of about half the seafood out there, period, real or imitation.

    Brocolli has way more carbs than I am happy with.

    Cheese has way less than I imagined. 100g of my favourite colby has less than 1g.

    Good to know about the Fairlife milk. Have been seeing it in the stores, but hadn't tried it yet.

    I hope to try this once I get to maintenance, because I really enjoy the occasional glass of milk.
