The amount of carbs in broth seems to be minimal even if some of the
flavouring vegetables contain substantial carbs but get discarded.

This should really be labelled beef stock.

Hi Jim,

The amount of carbs in broth seems to be minimal even if some of the flavouring vegetables contain substantial carbs but get discarded.

Most vegetables are only 5 carbs per cup, raw or 5 carbs per half cup,
cooked. Exceptions are the starchy ones like potatoes, corn, peas, etc.

All of the vegetables here are of the lower carb variety. Your stock
should be very low carb.

Hi Jim,

etc.

The new guy, Alan Beck, was looking for "no carb" gluten free
recipes. The Keto diet is ultra low carb, just 20 grams per day,
so less than 7 g per meal.

All of the vegetables here are of the lower carb variety. Your stock should be very low carb.

2 lg Carrots

12 g of total carbs, 6 of them sugars, and 3 of them fibre so 9 g net
carbs.

2 lg Leeks

Very low carb and high fibre. OK for keto extremists.

2 Stalks celery

Also very low carb and high fibre. OK for keto extremists.

1 lg Onion (8 oz)

Surprisingly sweet. A 100 gram (3.5 oz) portion contains 9.3 grams
of carbs, 4.2 of them sugar and 1.7 grams of fiber so the total
digestible carbohydrate content is 7.6 grams. OK for diabetics and
people on a normal (50-100 g) low carb diet but keto people have to
watch their portion sizes.

MMMMM

Reduce amount of pear to hit the carb target. (Pears are relatively
low sugar fruits.)

I must have not caught that; I've been a bit fogged out for a bit. I
finally felt I could get back to Fido and (hopefully) make some sense.
The bit about carbs in veggies I picked up when I had to watch my carb
intake, but not to the extent Alan is. Except for this recovery time,
I'm not quite as strict on watching the intake as I was initially. For
now, tho, I'm not really watching them too strictly, figure the
rehabbing of the knee will need the extra help. (G)

Watching portion size is always a good thing. I've found that I can't
eat as much at a meal as I did even a relativly few years ago. Most of
the time when we go out, I end up bringing half or more of my entree
home. Good for portion control there. (G)
