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?

I think just anything from take-aways / fast food places in general are carb loaded !!-
Chinese food = sugar in nearly all the sauces + often things in batter - think of those sweet + sour pork balls !
Indian = All that Rice + fatty sauces and all the deep fried high carb somosas in the filo pastry
Chipper = Deep fried fish in batter + all those Chips /Fries
Pizza - enough said !
What a minefield it is out there !! All gaurantee rollercoster blood sugars ! - would like to eat them all .....in my dreams !

The Chinese food can really be a problem -- for me, after 2 hours, I am fine. Same after 3 hours. But after 6, I can be through the roof BG-wise.

I use a dual wave on the MM and draw it out for 4 hours when I eat chinese food. Have you tried that Jonathan?

We think alike. I use a 6 hour dual wave on Chinese (I use a 2 hour on all food). What I think I really need is a second normal bolus at about the 4-5 hour mark (which, unfortunately, is around 1 am usually, so it does not happen). It's kind of a tease -- doing well for several hours and then soaring.
