Just had a chinese take away and was very good only eating a few noodles out of the chow mein and eating all the chicken out of the kung po but then I fell foul of the prawn crackers they are impossible to stop eating once you start :evil: I cant find out how many carbs there are in them I have looked on the usual carb counting sites but no good .I know I could test after 2 hours but I am having a couple of glasses of wine and some very dark choc so I will not get a reading for the chinese .All help gratefully received

Hi found two sites listing nutritional info for prawn crackers
http://www.healthyweightforum.org/eng/calorie-counter/calories_in_chinese_food/
5g carb per 3 large prawn crackers

We can only guess Carol :lol:
 
Yup - I'm a Prawn Cracker fiend too. The problem is, me and the missus only ever have a chinese once in a blue moon, and our place ALWAYS gives you a free portion of Prawn Crackers.

They are mighty addictive.

Spend over £10 and you get a free bag from my local, they are rather nice and sticking to just a few can prove difficult :twisted:
 
Yep ours are free too and it is rude to leave some when they have so kindly been given to you :lol:

Believe it or not - I have been known to throw them away!

(I've also been known to eat 'em for breakfast, so, well, y'know... Swings and roundabouts)
 
I just pretend that as they are derived from 'prawns' they are carb free and therefore don't count! :lol:
 
Sharwoods Home Cooked, cooked in Veg oil are 63.8g per 100g.

Bad news. And I have a huge bag of uncooked prawn crackers from the Chinese supermarket in my larder. Dang.

It's not just the carb number but the glycemic load that matters. Prawn crackers are very very fatty. Anyone know the GL? I'm betting that like crisps, their main peril is not high blood sugar but high calories.
 
I am a skinny DB so the calories are a bonus but the carbs are the danger
