[sona1980]

whats the carbs damage for a few shreds of beetroot?

Ive just had a small (hand made) salad from canteen as a snack..

handfull of lettuce, 3 slices of cucumber a few shreds of beetroot and an egg..

Have i killed it?

i think a few shreds should be ok - 8g per 100g.

it'll be OK probably Sona.

thanks!!
i was just thinking to myself how nice beetroot actually is..
would go down nice as a snack with some kinda dip... im thinking about getting a jar of that and olives for work...

I was looking at beetroot the other day Sona - had been watching raymond blanc and some of his recipes from his show the other night had beetroot. they looked delicious.

Mmmmnnnn I love beetroot, really want to try it roasted. Have you every tried beetroot & chocolate cake?? (oops soory not the best thing to mention on an atkins thread!)

It's too carby to use beetroot as a dip Sona.

 

[sona1980]

Jim honey,
beetroot WITH SOME KIND OF DIP.

 

[Jim]

That was my point Sona, beetroot is too carby to use to eat a dip..
