Re: Dieting/Low Carbs


Well the sausages could be slightly higher in carbs than you think, perhaps if you had a look at the packet and let me know the carb content either per sausage or per 100g, The rest of your foods sounds fine. I don't think the nuts are going to be a problem.

How about what you normally have for a drink during the day??

I usually have tea with semi skimmed milk and sweetner at work, at home I usually have diet coke or low cal squash or tea. Will check sausages.

Re: Dieting/Low Carbs


Drinks sound fine.

Just as a comparison on the sausages to give you some idea of the difference you can have....

Sainsburys Taste the difference ultimate pork sausage per 100g 1.8g carbs
Sainsburys Butcher choice sausage per 100g 8.8g carbs!!!!

That is some difference between the two sausages and it means that the butchers choice sausage has more filler rather than meat in it. If you are having say 4 sausages a day you could be eating quite a few carbs more than you realise.

Re: Dieting/Low Carbs


Donna I think you have found out your problem, how many sausages do you think on average you eat.

Those sausages are VERY high in carbs for sausages,

Re: Dieting/Low Carbs


Where abouts do you buy your sausages from, if you let me know I will see if I can have a look on the website and find a lower carb one. The difference in price between the two Sainsburys one I listed is hardly anything. I think I pay £2.50 for the ultimate sausages (for two packs of 6 sausages) and they are very meaty and filling.

Re: Dieting/Low Carbs


Maybe i am reading it wrong. They are Richmond fresh sausages. Dont like sausages that taste to meaty (yes I know!!!! daft eh?). Think I had better change my brand!!! Just bought more as well!!!

Usually have two for brekkie and then maybe once or twice a week for dinner too.

I shop at Tescos Emma, but dont like the really meaty sausages so maybe I should just stop eating them.

each sausage is usually about 50g so you are having 13g of carbs on your breakfast sausage alone, if you are also having them for dinner (say two again) you are having about 26g carbs in one day just on four sausages, which I would say is far too much.

Hold on, I will go and have a look at some carb counts of sausages, we might be able to find a compromise on finding you one that isn't too meaty. Even changing down to a sausage with about 8g carbs per 100g is going to make a lot of difference.

If your children eat sausages let me have them

I am sure we can find a better sausage for you Donna. be right back
