Fridays/ Ruby Tuesdays

[kgold1]

The buffalo wings at Friday's and Ruby tuesdays come in hot sauce... that's ok during induction right? does anyone have any idea's how many carbs 10 wings would have?

You need to check with them to find out whether or not they put sugar or any other non Atkins friendly ingredients. Most hot sauces are o.k. but I would either check their websites or call or email the restaurant for the ingredients and nutritional information to be on the safe side. When I make them at home the hot sauce consists of a sauce such as Frank's Louisiana Red Hot Sauce and butter so they are Atkins friendly.

Friday's wings are Atkins approved on the menu, so you are safe there, not sure about Ruby Tuesday's.

Ruby Tuesday's has a menu that specifies carb count on their wings and I believe 4 wings were 2 carbs (or close). The problem is, the last time we went to RT's (and we used to be weekly visitors) they had clearly changed the brand of chicken they were using AND the sauce. The wings were nasty and fatty (who ever thought you'd be able to see yellow fat in a bony chicken wing???) and the sauce was a pale, watered down imitation of what it had been before. To make things worse, they were undercooked. Normally, we would have asked to have them nuked to get them more done but they were so bad to begin with, we just left them, drank our diet pops and got the heck out of there. Haven't been there since.

Eww, that sounds nasty! I always ask for my wings well done when I order them out. We have gotten were we rarely even go out, our home cooking is so much better, we know what's in it, and its a heck of alot cheaper too!

just remeember that an akins approved food doesnot mean it is Akins approved for your Phase as many Subway eaters found out. Always ask the ingredients and carry your lists, book or those great cards avail in the induction forums with you so you know if it is acceptable or not.

The Atkins cheese cake at Ruby Tuesdays isn't Atkins weight loss Dr Atkins cake it is from a bakery called Atkins and contains one of those funky blended sweetners not Dr Atkins acceptable either.

Happy low carbing.
