For the  sake of space I will just post this question here. I was wondering about the sugar free/ low sugar enchilada sauce. Any suggestions?

[Doug Varrieur]

It's all about reading labels. Because we all come from different parts of the country and even from other countries brands are different. We use Old El Paso which is only 3 carbs for 1/4 cup which should be enough for two enchiladas.

And how many carbs are the enchiladas? I have to take some type of insulin with my meals usually not much but still a bit.

 The key to lifetime maintenance, learn to count your carbs
That will depend on the wrap you use. We use La Tortlilla wraps, 3 carbs per wrap. We split them in half and only use 1/2 for each enchilada. 2 enchiladas go into individual baking dishes 1/8th of a cup of sauce per person 1 1/2 carbs. Quarter cup of onions mixed with the ground beef, total 2 1/2 carbs, 1 1/4 per person. no carbs in the meat or cheese. They are served on a lettuce bed with a bit of sour cream and avocado. 1 carb each. So here's the math per plate;

Wrap- 3
Sauce- 1.5
Onion- 1.25
condiments-1
Meat- 0
Cheese- 0
Bed of lettuce- 1/2 carb

TOTAL- 7 carbs for total dinner each

See how easy that was

So that's 2 servings per person correct? Isnt 7 carbs a lot?

[Doug Varrieur]

That leaves 13 carbs for the rest of the day so lets say you had bacon and eggs for breakfast, 0 carbs....A cheeseburger wrapped in Lettuce for lunch....0 carbs.  Now, you've eaten dinner and only had 7 carbs for the day you know what that means don't you?? 

Carb Smart Ice Cream and Reddi Whip for dessert!!!

It's all about choices.

I guess the problem for me is I have to spread my carbs out thru the day more or I bottom out. I have to be so careful because I cant get off insulin. Generally I havent been eating more than a 3 carb meal just because I do spread them out so much.

[Doug Varrieur]

That's cool, skip the ice cream and have a few strawberries with each 0 carb meal.

[beebs]

Hey, that's a great idea. I dunno why I didnt think of that.
