I read but can’t remember where that on the anabolic diet you don’t have to count the carbs in veggies (except for potatoes, tomatoes, carrots,…) is this true as I thought you counted all carbs?

count all net carbs(subtract out fiber)

Count everything.

TANSTAAFL, baby!

haha if veggi carbs didnt count there'd be mashed cauliflower, cauliflower pizza and cauliflower lasagna at every one of my meals

sadly they can add up

Cool appreciate the links.

You and me, kiddo. I love cauliflower (don't tell spinach I'm seeing someone else! ) I never saw the crust and lasagna before, thanks!!!

Here's a short guide to vegetables by carb content. http://lowcarbdiets.about.com/od/whatto ... hatveg.htm Hope it helps!

I thought you added the carbs for veg, but don't need to subtract fibre cause I'm from the UK. Just remembered where I read that artical on veg it was from stronglifts.com. Anyway thanks al for your welcome advice

Depends on how you're keeping track. I'm pretty sure TheDailyPlate.com and FitDay.com both use American-style tracking. There may be a UK version, though; I just don't know. If you're just keeping track for yourself on paper and you live in the UK, don't subtract the fibre from the total carbohydrates listed on package labels. Just be careful when you look nutrition data up online for foods that aren't packaged, like produce and other whole foods. If you want to be on the safe side, don't subtract and then you don't have to worry you're getting too many. I found this list that you might find helpful: http://www.brianmac.co.uk/food.htm

The trouble with finding food value is sites always differ from composition. Now on the link you posted almonds per serving states 4g of carbs, but I have a bag of Almonds in front of me and per serving states Cal = 150 Protein = 3.5g Carbs = 1.7g Fats = 14 so like you said best to read whats on the packet in front of you.

What's the serving size? I'll wager it's on the order of 30 grams. The link I posted gives values for a 100 gram serving, hence the difference.
