I was just wondering how many carbs were in it! I love willow  tree chicken salad but after reading the ingredients realized they put brown sugar in it.

I looked at the costco one and it is good buti just couldn't justify all the sugar. It was quite a bit.

Ugh that sucks, guess I made an error in that one... I was just so excited to see the low calories, high protein and perfect size .... So dumb question.... How much do you care about the sugars if the cal count us low ?

Look at the carb count. How many are you supposed to be eating?

I care a LOT more about carb/sugar count than calorie count.  My surgeon didn't even want me looking at calories during the first year post-op because there was no way I was going to be eating enough for that to matter.  

My carbs matter....because they cause cravings for more carbs and because they increase my hunger for food in general.

I don't know if this is the one you're talking about, but it has 17 grams of carbs.  In my plan, the carbs shouldn't be higher than the protein.

Okay, this is really weird.....The chicken salad I have has the same label BUT

total carb 12 GM, 2 GM fiber and 8 gm sugar.

So , does this make it an option now ?

My plan states to stay under 5 fat and 5 sugar,so  I will give  it to my hubbie , but still ?!!
