Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / March 2004Costco find
Costco has some stuffed peppers in oil (canola and olive). The peppers are stuffed with prusciotto and I think cheese. They don't have too many carbs.

At Sam's Club I found low carb frozen pizza.It is Michael Angelo's brand pepperoni & sausage. About 6 1/2 inches in diameter and 1/2 a pizza is a serving. One serving is 9 g net carbs and 370 calories 41 g of protein. The downside is 19 grams of fat but only lists the 4.5 grams of saturated fat so I assume the rest is trans fats. First pizza I have had in over 9 months though so pretty good for once in a while. Also the same brand has a baked Eggplant Parmesan that is 10 net grams a serving (5 to the container I think). >> Costco has some stuffed peppers in oil (canola and olive).

I personally find a lot of food at Sam's to be a lot less objectionable than in other places. Sam's is a relatively honest business. i > Also the same brand has a baked Eggplant Parmesan that is 10 net grams a > serving (5 to the container I think). > > At Sam's Club I found low carb frozen pizza.It is Michael Angelo's brand > > pepperoni & sausage.

Sam's is a relatively honest business. Sure - they come 4 to a pack $9.87 serving size 1/2 pizza (135 g) calories 370 170 from fat total fat 19 g saturated fat 4.5 g cholesterol 35 mg sodium 700 mg total carbs 11 g fiber 2 g sugar <1 protein 41 g ingredients: water, mozzarella cheese (pateurized milk, cheese culture, salt,enzymes), wheat gluten flour, tomatoes (vine-ripened tomatoes, salt) vital wheat gluten flour, pork, pepperoni (pork, beef, salt, dextrose, flavorings, lactic acid, starter culture, oleoresin of paprika, sodium nitrite, BHA, BHT, citric acid) soy flour, pecorino romano cheese (100% pasteurized sheep's milk, cheese culture, rennet, salt) salt, baking powder, olive oil, yeast, garlic powder, spices.

I'm not much of a typist) Sounds not bad at all. Thanks a lot. I shop at sams weekly. i They are very small pizzas for one half to be a serving.. They are about the size of the *personal pan pizzas* at Pizza Inn.. or Pizza Hut.. one of those places anyway. Half would make a decent serving maybe if you were also having a nice huge salad with it.. plus the toppings are just a little on the skimpy side. The taste is good though. I was just thinking that if you measured out the same amount of a regular pizza with same toppings, you would really probably have the same carb counts or pretty close. They are good, and probably ok for most but I would consider them one of those things to indulge in as a treat and not as lunch or dinner on any kind of a regular basis. They are a bit pricey for what little you really get. Teeb > >> > At Sam's Club I found low carb frozen pizza.It is Michael Angelo's brand > >> > pepperoni & sausage.

It is to be a good part of a good meal. My typical lunch is something like 800-1000 calories. So, a half of a pizza being about half of that, is not unreasonable. >plus the toppings are just a little on > the skimpy side. The taste is good though. I was just thinking that if you > measured out the same amount of a regular pizza with same toppings, you > would really probably have the same carb counts or pretty close. A great question to ponder. My guess is that if it really is only 9 grams of digestible carbs, it is much better than average pizza. >They are > good, and probably ok for most but I would consider them one of those things > to indulge in as a treat and not as lunch or dinner on any kind of a regular > basis. They are a bit pricey for what little you really get. That's true, as well. As you know, I am generally suspicious of commercial prepared foods, but am a little bit open minded. i > Teeb > [quoted text clipped - 42 lines] >> >> i >>Costco has some stuffed peppers in oil (canola and olive).

They're under no obligation to separate trans fats yet. You should assume simply that it's not saturated fat. It's some kind of fat, just not that kind.

First, what's wrong with fat, and second, why would the majority of the fat being trans fats be a good thing? LCing since 12/01/03- Me- 265/223/140 & hubby- 310/244/180 > > The > >downside is 19 grams of fat but only lists the 4.5 grams of saturated fat so [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Me- 265/223/140 > & hubby- 310/244/180 Trans fat is not a good thing it is a negative thing. Maybe I am wrong but the way I had understood it is that you take the total fat and whatever is left after the sat, poly and mono fat was trans fats. I will be glad when they are required to list them. As far as fat goes I am in maintenance and so at this point I have to consider calories also. But I am certainly not eating a low fat diet. >>>The >>>downside is 19 grams of fat but only lists the 4.5 grams of saturated fat [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > left after the sat, poly and mono fat was trans fats. I will be glad when > they are required to list them. Since labels don't list all those fats, you can't very well do that. For the moment, since labeling laws don't make trans fat a listed ingredient and you can't calculate it from the label information, forget it. If you want to minimize it, stay away from hydrogenated fats and know that you're doing as much as can be done given the information available. Pastorio A really super pizza alternative is to use a LC tortilla. Place the tortilla on a baking sheet and put it in a 350 oven for a few minutes, until the edges just start to brown. Remove, put a thin coat of LC sauce on, cheese, toppings etc, return to oven to melt cheese. These taste so good, even non-LC folks like them. |
