hi Sue,
Yes, Roma and Italia are two varieties of plum tomatoes -- I just happened to be sitting here poring over my gardening books, dreaming about the summer that just might happen after all .. .. The carb count would be right for a very small tomato. I have two plum tomatoes, which I bought the smallest I could find (I hate leftover tomato once it's been cut) -- anyway, just weighed them on my little scale, and they were close to 75 gm each. Hmmmmm ... guess I wasn't too far off guesstimating them at 4 carbs minus 1 gm fiber.
I still don't understand why folks want to avoid onions (?? says Doreen, who loves 'em). A half a small onion, or about 3 Tbsp chopped is only 2.7 carbs minus 0.8 fiber. A whole small onion, in a recipe for 4 people would net less than one carb, and a lot of flavour. Just my thought, of course ..
