Worst Carb Meals Out There
I saw a commercial last night for what struck me as one of the highest carb meals that I have ever seen -- a bread bowl filled with pasta. Then, today, I saw deepdish pizza, piled high with pasta as the topping.
And, here in NYC, there were a couple of newspaper articles about the calorie contents of the entrees at certain national food chains (and I don't mean the fast food chains) -- one meal was 3,200 calories (and that is without an appetizer or dessert)!
It got me thinking, what is the highest carb or highest calorie meal you have ever seen?

Poutine! French fries, cheese curds, and gravy - a Montreal delicacy. And to think I actually made J' (heart) POUTINE bumperstickers at one point... I have had none since my diagnoses, probably a good idea for now...

I love love love poutine! I swear it only appeals to people with quebequoi blood because all of my coworkers and friends (other than a fellow descendant of quebequois) think it is disgusting.

A Chipotle burrito for me has 126 carbs and that's probably the highest carb meal I eat. It contains a big shell and lots of rice and beans. The other stuff is pretty much free food. My blood sugar gets a big spike after a few hours though.

Haha after reading these I love that this disease turns us into nazi health freaks. Worst high carb meal? I would say mc donalds super sized anything... or stuffed crust pizza, and the bread bowl thing.

The IHOP stuffed French Toast Combo sounds like a doozy: cinnamon/raisin French Toast, stuffed w/ sweet cream cheese, topped with a strawberry-whipped cream topping, served with 2 eggs, hash brown potatoes, and 2 bacon or sausage. 1476 calories, 76 gm fat, and 173 gm carb.

Taco Bell the fully loaded salad. I thought salads were supposed to be healthy.
