I’m going out for dinner to prezzo! Unfortunately I can’t find any info on carbs?.. does anybody know how many carbs are in a spaghetti carbonara
 
That’s why I don’t like My Fitness Pal, if the number isn’t entered they put a ‘0’ rather than leaving it blank :mad:
 
When they give you the menu, ask for a nutritional information thing, often called the allergy menu. They have to provide those on request by law, I believe.
 
I ended up having a salad :( as I couldn't find any info and I didn't want to make a fuss as I was out with friends
 
Most of these chains have nutritional info kicking about on their websites somewhere but Prezzo seems to have hidden theirs very well!

In those sort of cases, I'd probably do a combination of recall about how much I'd needed for another similar meal in the past along with a browse through Carbs & Cals to see if I can find a "lookey-likey" size-wise, and sort of make it up from there.

No idea what Prezzo portion sizes are like, but Carbs & Cals gives a starting point for six sizes, so let's suggest this one:

I'd also be factoring in things which have a bearing on the timing and whether a split is needed: carbonara, basically made of cream, so a fair few issues with absorption which would tend towards more attention to a split; bolognese, mainly tomatoes, little fat, so absorption is frequently more predictable.
