I'm having a tough time trying to find out how many carbs are in a cherry tomato. There is no nutritional information listed on the package and I cannot find anything online. Any suggestions??? I love them as a snack and know that tomatoes have great antioxidants in them. Also is Peanut butter permitted in phase 1? If it's natural and low carb? Thanks!

According to Fitday.com, 10 cherry tomatoes have 6.7 total grams of carbs and 2g of fiber, for a net carb count of 4.7g. If you want to find cherry tomatoes (or other types of tomatoes) on Fitday, just search for "tomatoes, raw" and look for the different types (cherry, grape, slices, etc.) in the drop down menu next to the Amount field.

As for the peanut butter, no, nuts are not allowed on Induction. However, sugar-free peanut butter is allowed a couple of weeks into OWL, so you're not too far away from that!

To see which foods are allowed during Induction, check out the Acceptable Foods page at
http://www.atkins.com/Program/FourPhases/WhatIsInduction/AcceptableFoodsList.aspx However, I don't find Atkins' carb counts to be particularly accurate, so I'd verify them against another site, like Fitday.

Hope this helps!

Yeah - typing in "cherry tomatoes" on Fitday gets you lots of results like "cherry pie" -- not helpful on any diet, especially Atkins lol!
