boinky 0 #1 January 7, 2005 OK, since I committed to the "Fat Bastard" club, I've been trying to watch both calories and carbs. I love Quizno's. They make this new flatbread sandwich that their website claims is low in carbs. www.quizno's.com Somehow, I think it tastes too good to be healthy. But they don't list nutritional stuff on any of their other foods, including total calories. Can some of you computer gurus help me out here? I want to know some stuff about "flatbread" like what it is, calories and if it really is low carb.Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?

NWFlyer 2 #2 January 7, 2005 This probably won't help you for this specific instance, but this is an awesome site for data on foods: http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/ If you're looking for a nice site to track your food, this one is good: http://www.fitday.com Somewhere I have a bookmarked page that has calorie and carb counts for a lot of restaurant chains, but I'll probably have to look it up at home."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boinky 0 #3 January 7, 2005 Thanks! Hmmmm.....it doesn't recognize flatbread. That's probably not a good thing, huh? Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigra 0 #4 January 7, 2005 Their flat bread is loaded with fiber, and not all that tasty unless its piled high with meat and cheese and stuff! I thought the same thing when they came out, same with the low carb wraps from Subway. Now I choose to believe they are what they say they are! Also, when they say "net carbs" that's carbs minus fiber and minus what they consider to be low impact carbs. (Like malitol sp?- in the "sugar free" chocolate.)

I thought the same thing when they came out, same with the low carb wraps from Subway. Now I choose to believe they are what they say they are! Fiber is a good thing, right? And I don't care about the dressings, but love meat, cheese and lettuce. So you think these are a good thing after all? QuoteAlso, when they say "net carbs" that's carbs minus fiber and minus what they consider to be low impact carbs. (Like malitol sp?- in the "sugar free" chocolate.) Yeah, I've read all that stuff. Don't really understand it, but I'll go with the lower carbs they are listing. I also tried the low carb Doritos. Ate 1/2 of a small bag. Equals to 70 calories and about 3 net grams of carbs. I can deal with that.Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigra 0 #6 January 7, 2005 Yes, fiber is a good thing, but be warned that alot of these "low carb" products are so loaded with fiber, they taste like partical board. YUK! And also, many food items that are labeled "low carb" are high in fat, just as most of the "low fat" products are loaded with sugar and other nasty carbs. (You know, the stuff that TURNS into fat almost as soon as we swallow it? Low fat my a$$!) You're really much better off in the long run eating "real" unprocessed foods, but sometimes we need our shortcuts and our treats! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
