Nutracheck App Chinese Takeaway Egg Fried Rice

[mum2westiesGill]

For purposes of weighing it out and also carbs does anyone know if the Chinese Takeaway Egg Fried Rice would be the same amounts as chinese takeaway prawn fried rice? Would the prawns make a difference?

 

[Kaylz]

To the carb value no as prawns are negligible in carbs

Agreed. We find rice often needs a split bolus but it depends how much protein and other food you’re having with it

So just weigh the rice without having to pick all the prawns out?

 

[Kaylz]

Well prawns will add weight just not carbs, so of course if the prawns are in the dish it will weigh heavier than egg fried rice, pretty sure the nutrition for prawn fried rice would be available somewhere but I'm also pretty sure you asked exactly the same question the other week and have also eaten this meal before as well so what did you do on those occasions

@Kaylz I fished the prawns out before weighing the rice then placed them on top after weighing. I enjoyed my chinese - tested before and injected after because I wasn't sure how much I was going to have - I did end up hypo a bit later on but hey ho it was dealt with 🙂
