[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 2071221, member: 93179"] The salad will still contain those carbs whether or not you choose to actually count them, and your body will still process them when you eat them! (And as [USER=127898]@Pasha[/USER] said,your meter will know too, and you [I]may[/I] see any increase in carbs reflected in your post meal glucose levels.) On a very low carb diet even a few carbs could be a significant percentage, but how you might respond to these small amounts is individual to you. You will need to know whether the total quantities of carbs you're eating are low enough to get you into ketosis and keep you there long enough to become keto/fat adapted. After that you can be a bit more relaxed in what you count and eat. Robbity [/QUOTE]
