  • Sucker!!!

    They got me good this time. My Angus beef meatballs from yesterday I mean. I bought them on impulse and did not look at the ingredients. I mean, it said 0 carbs and it is angus beef right? WRONG-O...Here is the list of ingredients:
    Angus beef, water, seasoning [flavour(includes beef extract, corn syrup solids), spice, salt, spice extract] textured soy flour, toasted wheat crumbs, soy protein concentrate, salt.
    I am so mad right now

    Re: Sucker!!!

    It is so annoying that 100% beef doesn't mean that there is only beef in a product - just that the meat in it is only beef, not lamb or pork etc.

    I have stopped buying burgers or meatballs at all and make my own using beef mince (ground beef in USA).

    I just made a batch from 400grams of 28% fat beef mince, 1/4 cup of ground almonds and an egg - had one tonight and it was excellent!!
    Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
    Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

      Most meatballs are made with bread crumbs and the like... I stopped buying them in stores years ago for this fact alone.

        It's just the "Angus Beef" mention that got me. I never even thought to look at the ingredients...so I don't know if the dog is going to like them
