I notice that with the cabbage note in select vegetables, standard green cabbage is not listed (it lists red, pak choi and bok choy). Anyone else use green cabbage?
Oh my goodness about green cabbage... I roast it pretty much daily. I know my coach has said be careful with the green, but have not actually looked up nutritional information as I probably just don't want to know......please share what you hear.
Interesting about the potassium. Does that mean dieters are getting half of the calcium now than previously? I had to reduce the amount of calcium on my own when I realized that's what was causing the severe constipation. But I can't remember now what the original amount was. I stopped taking the cal-mag but continued with the potassium and just took magnesium on its own.
Seriously? Green Cabbage? You know what if you are using Green Cabbage and losing weight consistently you aren't going to stop now. I don't mean to suggest being OP but I wonder if we all got heavy because we ate too much Green Cabbage? LOL
I use green cabbage all the time, so now I'm panicking!! Especially because I have three heads of it already chopped and ready to cook this week.
I like to throw it in my salads sometimes for extra crunch and a way to make my salad more "leafy" and not all select veggies. Uh-oh! I'll be watching this issue . . .
Red cabbage, 1 cup chopped:
28 cal, 0 fat, 7 carb, 2 fiber (5 net carb), 1 protein
Green cabbage, 1 cup chopped:
22 cal, 0 fat, 5 carb, 2 fiber (3 net carb), 1 protein
Seems to me like green cabbage is actually a better choice...
Only thing would be if it has some acidic reaction in the body. I think I read that spinach can do something like that. But I eat green cabbage regularly and haven't had any issues.

Well, that worries me for jicama then. Jicama has the same 5 net carbs as the red cabbage (though 6 grams fiber per cup) and higher calories. Jicama is the thing I would be lost without (never got around to the rutabaga fries).
