Carb amounts for pouch test?

[Brdwaybaby 2]

Does anyone know how many carbs a store bought Soup should have during the 5 day pouch test? My book def has a typo as it says 1 grams. I wanted to start tomorrow.

It depends on the Soup. Something like chicken broth will have virtually zero, but if your soup has rice or noodles or Beans, it will have a lot more. What kind of soup are you thinking about buying?

There are a couple of recipes included in the 5-day pouch test. Why not use one of those? I made the pumpkin/sausage Soup. It's a bit heavy for me, but it is definitely tasty!

With my job and 3 year old I had to buy some. I wish my book had the number of carb grams but I went by the amounts listed in the recipe for the Soups.

You could use broth instead of Soup and add Protein Powder to it

If your book has a typo, have you checked the web site to see if it's correct there? Try here...

I have not had surgery yet and was wondering what the pouch test is.

It's a mini-restart program for those who may have strayed from the path. You shouldn't need to think about it for at least 12-18 months, if at all.... hopefully!
