Sausages will have carbs? I've never had any problems with sausages! |

The filling in sausage is a higher percentage fat then anything else and should not be counted as carbs |

The bread content in sausages depends on how much you pay for them: the cheaper sausages will have a higher percentage of bread - that's why they are cheap. The more you pay the more meat you get and therefore the less bread. It's always worth checking the package to get the carb content. |

It doesnt really work too well to say "check the carbohydrates" for sausages, because its the proteins that counteract the carbs, so carbs will always be present on the labelling. Similiar goes for heinz tinned baked beans - you dont count the beans but there is sugar in the sauce. The best way around this is to only count the sugar content - Im doubtful the same method applies to sausages, so is there any other way of identifying? Im so glad Ive clearly only eaten meaty sausages, even when eating out! |

Careful guys, as sausages do have carbohydrates. Despite Eggs and Bacon not having Carbohydrates, I would be carefule and consider that there may a few carbs in that. |

Yes, I was a bit doubtful about "proteins counteracting carbs". Surely, if a meal contains carbohydrates, you have to count them to calculate your QA dosage, regardless of what you're having with them. |
