Found 2 articles on about.com that have some pretty good info on fiber and veggies.

I've been looking over my food journal and I have noticed something. I am doing great on my carbs and calories, but have gone over the daily recommended amount of sugar every time. The worse day I went over by about 45 grams. It may not seem like a lot, but I'm doing this thing to help avoid becoming diabetic later in life. I use sugar in my coffee and tea. OJ has sugar, I started drinking 1 glass everyday to help with serotonin. I ate a red sauce, that has sugar in it. A slice of cornbread has sugar in it! I need to be careful. Since I've been LOW carb eating not NO carb eating I have allowed myself to eat a cookie or 3 at night if I 'behaved' the rest of the day. I also let myself have the occasional bowl of ice cream.

I think the problem is my habit of eating a sweet around 8pm. We started dessert time with our kids years ago. They know that at 8pm it's their last chance to go into the kitchen for a snack. I usually go along with them. I thought I was being good by only snacking on nuts or a couple of dark chocolate squares during the day. I now see I need to have some dessert alternatives for myself at night.
