Two large eggs have slightly more than 1 net carb.
If you're not sure what size the eggs are, count 2 carbs.

I always count 1 carb per egg or quarter cup of egg beaters.

Don't beat yourself up. I did the same thing and was thinking eggs were 0 for awhile, too. Not sure what made me think that, but I did.

Rena's right!

Don't worry about making a mistake.
We all make them.

The best thing to do with a mistake is to learn from it, and move on.
It's no big deal!

Ive been counting them as 0 (and I eat them almost everyday...omlettes, scrambled and hard boiled.)  Thanks for straightening me out.

Thanks for the nice welcomes mouseissue and jogain.  The fts family seems great.  I read the book and decided that day to cut sugar and carbs. I have been working on changing the foods that I eat for about two weeks.  I am down 6 pounds already!  I am in the beginning stages and haven't counted every carb but I am enjoying some new foods.  I look forward to this way of eating long term.
