Carb confusion

[Anonymous]

Protein Bar has an egg dish they claim has 43 carb grams but I don't see how. Help me out?

It has eggs, pesto, Parmesan cheese, and spinach.

There may be a few in the pesto from the nuts, and one for the spinach but it seems very high--are they including a side of toast?.

Per serving? Do they use a lot of pesto? If a TBSP of pesto has 3g of carbs (that would be a pesto with a high nut content) they would have to use about 14 TBSP per serving. That's a bit more than a cup.

I think the entire dish is a cup size!

I just don't get it.

OK, this is going to bug me now.

Ok, that's for the bar-rito, which includes quinoa and a wrap. The carbs are from those....

Pp here. I should have said a bit less than a cup. The quinoa and wrap makes a lot more sense!

Nope, I'm talking about an egg dish only. If it had quinoa and a wrap I could understand the carbs of course.

PP you have indeed solved the mystery! A friend had hers in a cup without the wrap or quinoa and I thought that was the dish.

maybe it should be 4.3g
