    Did anyone here realize that an Outback Bloomin' Onion has 240 grams of carbs?

              Oh, I knew I was blowing some carbs. Only, I thought I was blowing 20-30. Oh, well.

                Well, it is a good thing you checked it out so you can avoid it next time - don't beat yourself up since it was an accident! Hope it goes well for you.

                  I'm not beating myself up. It's just that if I had wanted to blow all those carbs, I don't think it would've been on a Bloomin Onion.

                    Oh and the really weird thing is that I had NO carb hangover this morning. My eyes weren't swollen, my rings are still sliding off easily.

                    Strange.

                        OH, don't tell me that. LaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLA (fingers in ears).

                        For me, the carb hangover is first thing the next morning. My eyes will be swollen almost shut, bags under them, there is not one iota of saliva in my mouth and my rings are indented into my pudgy little fingers.

                          Wow, I wouldn't have ever thought it was that much. I probably has sugar in the breading mix or something. Did it cause you lots of problems?

                          Last year when I first started atkins I got a baked turkey breast from Kroger's deli. I took one bite and was like "oh my gosh this is the BEST turkey I've ever had." The next two days I was craving like a ravenous wolf and that week I lost zero pounds and couldn't figure out why. When I went to get the last of it and throw out the container the next day I just happened to notice that the ingredients were a longer list than turkey should have been and I saw that it had sugar in the spices that they put on it.

                            It had to be the breading. An onion only has about 9 carbs/7net. I eat them every day.
