[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 1787596, member: 374531"] Could well be - I blame Frankie and Bennys! As you know from previous posts, I don't regard myself as a low carber, but on reviewing the evidence, it turns out I might actually be an accidental low carber! I sometimes nip into an Italian place down the road from me after work, have a bowl of olives, and either a panini 50g, or a lasagne, Carbs & Cals puts it at about 40g, or blitz it with an 85g tortellini. All perfectly manageable for a T1 who's been doing this for a while and knows how to juggle things. Then, though, I've been doing my flat up, so I've been spending some time in out of town shopping centres with B&Qs, and I was after some food, so I popped into a Frankie & Bennys. Ordered garlic bread as a starter - I thought it would be a three or four slices of baguete, but no, it was a full pizza base pasted with some garlic butter. Got a lasagne. It was about four times the size of the one I get at my local place. Value for money? Maybe. Ridiculously large portion sizes which (a) pose problems for experienced T1s, and (b) which would make anyone fat if they ate them often enough, definitely. People do eat these things though. These out of town shopping centres are crowded with people every day stuffing themselves with more food than I'd ever consider normal. [/QUOTE]
