hey? pork rinds are 0 carbs? I haven't even thought about those, but that would be really good when I'm looking for something crunchy and salty! yum

Yep. I love pork rinds -- especially BBQ! They are great for snacks or for breading meat. There is even a mock French toast recipe that uses ground pork rinds. They are wonderful things!

Where do you get the BBQ pork rinds? I've been really wanting some, but all I can find around here are plain or spicy. The LC stores have cheddar and cinnamon/splenda, but still no BBQ!

Extra sharp cheddar - .5
Sausage - 0

Subway wrap - 7

Dinner:
Soooooo bad! I had a spoonful of PB - 5

I can't find BBQ pork rinds in the major stores. I find them at dollar stores and discount grocery stores, like Save-A-Lot. They also have salt and vinegar, but I haven't tried those, and I'm not sure if I want to... I'd love to try cheddar or cinnamon/splenda! Maybe we could have a pork rind swap! :D

Thanks Star! I went and changed the info.
The sign at the store said 10.5 carbs for the turkey bacon wrap, so I rounded up to the 11, but you are right - their website says 10 - so I'm gonna call it 10. ;)

I just noticed that the chicken bacon wrap is only 8 carbs. I should get that next time and save myself a couple of carbs.

I am sooooooooo hungry for something sweet today! I'm at work with no sf jello. I will survive but I want something sweet! I'm not hungry - just craving. Hope it passes quickly!

thanks for the help!
