Miss eating apples?

I discovered something in my hotel last week. I had left overs from a
restaurant that included some tomato slices. I had a kitchen, so I whipped
up my usual breakfast, but I missed my ketchup from home. What would happen
if I heat up that tomato slice with splenda and cinnamon in the microwave?
It tasted like apple sauce!

It wasn't ketchup- but good enough for a low carb dessert

At home I like the roma, plum tomatoes. about 4 carbs- easy to count and no
waste.

I'm on a low-carb diet and I eat apples from time to time, not
daily, and not always a whole apple, but nothing wrong with cutting
an apple into quarters and having a slice or two. Not an "atkins
induction" legal food, but hey, do people *always* have to be on
induction to be considered "low carbing"?

Haven't we all from time to time...?

I just eat apples. Now that I'm getting close to the end, i noticed
that my calories were too high to keep losing, but that I had more
room for carbs. So I replaced the bacon and eggs breakfast (1000
cals!) with an apple. 35 more carbs, but only 130 cals i think. That
and the exercise seem to be working now.

I ate about 2 apples/week while they were in season here in Minnesota. no
problems with it.

I always eat one apple per day. One of the best sources of carbs
as
far as I am concerned. Just count it towards your daily allowance.
I
get about 150g of carbs per day.

150 carbs?
you call that LOW CARB?

Well, given that 24-25% of my calories come from carbs, I think
that
it is low, yes. Much lower than the standard dietary
recommendations.

that seems pretty high............................

Wow and I thought I was not quite "low carb" with my 60-75g max
I don't really count carbs anymore. I did all that in the beginning,
and now that I know all the natural low-starch, low-sugar foods,
I simply eat them (fish, greens, poultry, olive oil, etc...).
Everything else that I put in my diet is after I've had a substantial
amount of the above. There comes a time in one's diet where they
don't have to constantly refer to the book, or re-learn how to ride
the bike, so to speak. That's what it's like for me.

Well, I am not about to tell you to eat more carbs. But the way I eat,
does not make me crave foods etc. See my post to "rosie" about low
GI foods that I eat.

As does the way I eat. For me, it's not about carb count, it's
about ingredients, plain pure and simple. It just seems to
default to 60-75 carb grams daily. I am very sensitive to
grains, even whole grains, and refined sugar, so the foods I
eat are lower in simple carbohydrates.

I do not count anything, on a regular basis, but I did it for one
week using fitday, just to see what I was eating. I use portion
control instead of counting as it saves me time and aggravation.

The lowering of the carbs and the upping of natural fats does
that for me.
