Just looked at their site and it claims that it contains >176g of carbs.For starters I cannot beleive that the meal size was 720g (maybe if you include the plate !) . If you were cooking rice at home you'd allow say 70-80g per person uncooked. A chicken breast is what? -250g? Chuck in some mange tout, and some chillies and onions - again lets say about 80g?? I reckon you're looking at 430-450g tops for this meal. There might be some sugar in the sauce bu I dont think it would make up that much difference.So most of the carbs are coming from the rice and I thought it was a smallish portion. I didn't prepare properly and I was 8.5 by bedtime but I'm still learning.Perhaps - just perhaps, they're only including the rice and it's meant to be 72.0g and not 720g? Whatever way you look at it, it's a bit strange.</blockquote>
