Can I replace my yellow containers with purple ones? Like every 2 yellow for a purple container? I don't want to eat carbs but I still want to have fruits

    Fruits are carbs.

    The reason that there's a separate container (from what I can tell) is so that you'll get a wider variety of micronutrients and therefore a more balanced diet. The yellow container is for things like starchy veggies if you don't want bread or rice.

    Here's an example of the types of foods that can go in each container:

    Personally, I prefer to use a food scale to weigh out my servings and then enter those more exact amounts into the food diary.
