Starting the Fast 800 on Monday and trying to get my head in gear but am looking for guidance on carb counting. I understand food labels but what about other stuff like veg? Is there a list somewhere I can use? And is 50gms the max target? Would appreciate any help.

Sign up to a website like cron-o-meter, which is the one I use, for nutrition tracking or use a phone based app like myfitnesspal (I have this on my phone but find cron-o-meter easier to use.).

There is no carb target so long as you keep to the 800calories. But you will find that if you keep an eye on carbs and set yourself a target – under 50g is what many people do, but you could try under 30g – this may help you get on track quicker.

See what suits you.

Good luck!
