Country Corn Flakes
26 ingredients. 16 grams of Carbohydrates. 64 out of its 70 calories are from carbohydrates.
So if I had eaten all they had offered me on this First Class flight, a short one, I would have eaten 55 grams of Carbohydrates plus whatever was in the Fruit Cup and a cup of Tea with milk!
This breakfast was presented, innocent and deceptive, I might add, praising Energy and Health, this simple breakfast would have taken up all of my carbohydrate allowance, almost all of it…
And left me hungry to boot?
How I longed for a Salmon with a piece of Baguette with some Gravlox! And a strong coffee from Nespresso.
This is what I would have had for breakfast, if I were home in Paris! and I wouldnt care to count my calories or my carbohydrate intake, but just enjoy it , knowing that Food villains have not put 33 ingredients into it..
