i thought that the meat was supposed to be 6oz and the vegtables is suppose to be 1/2 cup. David congrats to u. in due time all of this will become second nature and one day u will be saying...man i still have my big plate be where is my food(less)
KEKE,
The veggies can be more than 1/2 cup (especially the ones with very low carbs like 2 or less like lettuce).
Veggies give you many vitamins and minerals you need but not found in most high protein food.
You just need to watch out for the net carb count over your day.
You do want to be more careful with animal fats (like found in meat).
Too much is not good for you.
That's why Doug limits us to 6 oz. per serving (more if we're still hungry after a 15 minute wait).
This all leads to more well balanced healthy low carb meals.
I use the scale for other things too!
For example, when I'm experimenting with a new recipe, it helps me from eating more than the 20 net carb a day limit.
