Default carbs in chicken and eggs
permalink
Ok - so according to the carb counter in the back of the book, eggs DO have carbs?...0.6 g per egg right? I assume we need to count that...

granted, that's not a lot - but when you're eating 4 eggs at breakfast, then 2 at lunch - that adds up.

so we DO count the carbs in eggs, right?

also - chicken. I have a bag of tyson boneless chicken breast strips and for one serving, there's 2 grams of carbs in it. Is this because it's processed? The NI says 2 grams of sugar IN CHICKEN?????

I like this chicken because it's pre-cooked and easy to grab and go for lunch to just re-heat. I HATE having to make stuff in advance but I don't like the fact that this bag says there's sugar in CHICKEN!

Seriously - does the food industry have to put sugar in EVERYTHING? I mean it's chicken!!!!

Since, apparantly there IS sugar in this chicken - what is the easiest way to cook and store chicken so I don't have to worry about the carbs/sugar?
