LilBoo007 491 Posted August 4, 2013 I was told if you subtract the carbs from the Fiber you get the "net carbs" so lets say it says 21 carbs and 11 fiber your net carbs are 10... Meaning only 10 g carbs... Anyone else hear of that??? 1 newlife4leah reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

countrygirl 84 Posted August 4, 2013 I was on a Quest for healthy comfort food recipes last night and found this: I used a small Mission Carb Balance flour tortilla (80 calories' date=' 13 carbs but 9 grams of fiber so really not bad, 3 grams of protein), about a tablespoon of the avocado sauce and crammed 3 ounces of the chicken onto the taco. It was light and bright and crunchy and absolutely delicious (and the 9 year old loved it). We didn't have ancho chili seasoning so I used lawry's fire roasted chile and garlic seasoning. Per MFP-1 soft taco with 3 ounces chicken was 263 calories and 26 grams of Protein, 19 carbs but again 9 of those were fiber..... Definitely going on my favorites list!!!

terry1118 1,274 Posted August 5, 2013 Fish again. I love the fish but I don't know if eating it every day is good. It's my go to meal when nothing else interests me, which seems to be most nights. I bought a couple crab cakes to try tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably between lunch and dinner 5-6 times a week. I know there's a mercury issue but I eat so little I don't think it's a problem for me. Also I heard somewhere that it can up your ureic acid possibly causing gout. But again I eat so little I'm not sure if it would be an issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sunshine413 343 Posted August 5, 2013 I had a cheeseburger. I mean...pre op it would have been small...but I ate it. Then felt totally disgusting. I cringed as I stepped on the scale this morning. Ready to take whatever punishment was rightfully deserved after such a gluttonous meal...down TWO POUNDS! That proves that sometimes the scale is going to do whatever it's going to do...
