Guest guest Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 Hi, Just had a look at my last post ;=) I *shoulda* mentioned that three slices of a good wholegrain bread would be fewer calories than that bean burrito (around 270 instead of 320 or more) and yet provide one-third more protein (4 grams per slice instead of 9 grams for the single burrito). It would also contain around 1 gram of fat per slice compared to 8 grams in the burrito. But hey, we all like stuff like burritos, don't we? And who counts calories or protein grams or fat grams these days anyway!!! *lol* But it'd be a mistake to think that bread and tabouleh had less protein than a bean burrito. It has fewer calories, as I said, and it is *Hot* in temperature and *Spicy*, which is satisfying to the tummy. It is also, obviously, what you were craving and that is always more satisfying than something that's 'diet' food! Anyway, I thought I should clear that point up before one of you guys jumped on me for not mentioning it! *lol* Now let's all go and eat something relatively sinful for dinner!!!
