7/13/2010 12:46:29 PM Report Abuseseems I read somewhere fine angel hair pasta is lower in carbs and just as filling. I'm going to check. This sounds good, but if I can lower the carbs I can stay within my 45gm per meal goal. Also, if anyone wants to try it Kroger brand frozen broccoli with cheese sauce has very few carbs.Gordan's grilled tallapia is excellant! Very few in that too. Makes a wonderfully satisfying meal along with a salad and even a roll! All under a total of 45gm of carbs.
