Can we eat meatballs cooked in tomato sauce on the induction diet phase? I eat out a lot for lunch and I have been eating meatballs off the Sabaros hot bar but there is no way to know how many carbs they contain.

Unfortunately some places use sugar in their spaghetti sauce, they also probably use a filler. Now I don't know about you but I wouldn't want to waste a lot of carbs on a meat dish when there are so many with hardly any. And during induction your carbs should come from veggies. I would hold off on the meatballs for a while. Maybe when you are in OWL, but even then I wouldn't have them all the time.

Is this a national chain? At first I thought you were talking about sbarros, if that's the case then they do have nutritional info on their web site and the meatballs are 10 carbs (half of what you are allowed during induction, not good) If not maybe the resturant you go to may have a web site or a lot of places now are giving out nutritional info if you ask...especially after "Supersize Me" came out.

Thanks Noel. I will avoid sbarros meatballs for now.
