I would recommend that you get your satisfaction eating from more fat and protein and less vegetables which only keep you satisfied for a short time compared with protein and fats. Eating fermented raw vegetables increases the efficiency of your metabolism with healthy bacteria. This allows me to eat as much fermented vegetables as I want along with fresh low carb greens that I grow. As an example one cup of steamed shredded cabbage is 5.4 g. This reduces carbohydrates by as much as 80%. I think you’re doing fine and can add some additional vegetables without worrying.Īs a side note I eat a lot of home fermented vegetables like sauerkraut, pickles and kimchi. unless you’re using lots of onion and garlic in your foods. There’s no way spices will take you over 20g. The carb content of the food you listed is only 13g. I use tons of Cajun seasoning, make curries, Italian and Mexican dishes and have no problem with staying under my carb limits except when I make tomato based sauces consumed in a liberal serving. My solution for this in most of my cooking is to use dry onion and garlic added towards the end of cooking to get those flavors.

Spices and herbs are quite low in carbs in general, onions and garlic being easy to use too much and add lots of carbs. That being said I would be using a tracking app (I like Cronometer) and a digital scale the measures in grams (looks like you are doing that) and focus on <20g.

I think it’s important to track all your carbs vegetable or not.
