question about hot wings....

brad said:

Hey all,

I've had a good week 3 on my low-carb adventure....slowly but steadily
continuing to lose the weight.

Last night I had some hot wings (15) from a local bar...not much sauce on
them...just curious if there is any rough way to estimate the carb count on
something like this?

Thanks!

have you checked the usda.gov's website? they might have some hot wings
on their list that resemble the ones you've eaten.

If the pub used more of a traditional/basic recipe, where the wings are
simply put in the deep fryer with no coating and tossed in a hot
sauce/butter mixture upon removing, the carb count would be very low -
close to zero.

However, some restaurants will dust even 'non-breaded' wings with a
light coating of cornstarch before frying. Only way to know for sure is
to ask.

And even if they were dusted with something 15 wings would have a
negligable carb count anyway especially if you were good all day. Its
the beer ya have to drink with hot wings that's bad unless of course
you can settle for one light beer LOL!!!!

I don't drink much...haven't drank since starting this WOE on April
1....however, I just HAD to have some alcohol with my wings....and I was
actually noticing a small buzz from one drink. Yikes. It would have taken
several of that same drink back when I was eating for 3. 🙂

It's a low carb thing./ Lots of people report getting drunk from
sniffing bottle caps ROFL. I am a double whammy since I low carb and
have had gastric bypass within the last 11 weeks. I have no stomach to
hold it and absorb from so it would go straight out of my little tummy
to the blood stream. Havent tested the waters yet, dont intend to for a
while. My sister had WLS and she is on her lips after one 8 ounce glass
of wine and before ity took like a whole bottle. Mind you, there isnt
much in a bottle of wine when you consider the skinny thick glass! You
probably would have been pretty lit having a couple more drinks Brad.
Be careful K? Cheers!!!

Probably no carbs at all if they weren't breaded.

If the pub used more of a traditional/basic recipe, where the wings are
simply put in the deep fryer with no coating and tossed in a hot
sauce/butter mixture upon removing, the carb count would be very low -
close to zero.

However, some restaurants will dust even 'non-breaded' wings with a
light coating of cornstarch before frying. Only way to know for sure is
to ask.

Fried wings that have not been dusted with cornstarch or flour are
more of a golden yellow than a golden brown.

Once you've fried naked wings at home (a FryDaddy is about $15,
and fries a dozen wing pieces in about 15 mins) it's fairly obvious
whether restaurant wings were fried naked or not (and most are not).
If they were dusted, estimate about 10g carb for 15 wings.

Traditional Buffalo wing sauce is margarine/butter plus non-carby
hot sauce, but some restaurants add some sweet barbecue sauce.

I'm thinking it would depend on the seasoning - if you got a BBQ sauce on
them - the sauce may have sugar or brown sugar in it.

Low-carb food doesn't tend to soak up much alcohol in your stomach
like carby food does, so it gets into your blood stream a lot faster.

If properly made, the carbs should be zero. Butter/margarine, hot sauce,
and some spices. That's it.

Most hot wings have around 55 calories, 5-6 g of protein, and 1 g of carbs,
per wing.

So, your bar bill included 825 calories (plus another 100 calories or so for
the sauce), 83 g of protein, and 15 g of carbs. They're also loaded with
sodium and cholesterol, making them a poor choice from a cardiovascular
point of view.

Can somebody post a link to a peer-reviewed research paper in any of the
major medical journals where the impact of dietary cholesterol intake is
discussed? I've looked and can't seem to find any...

Ya can start by asking someone at the restaurant how they make them,
preferably BEFORE you order them

I ask and they usually have no idea. And if they are wrong you are still
the one that pays the price.

I think you can put a little on a test strip to see what the BG content is.

Low-carb food doesn't tend to soak up much alcohol in your stomach
like carby food does, so it gets into your blood stream a lot faster.

When you drink your liver is busy metabolizing the alcohol instead of
dumping glucose into your bloodstream in response to lowering insulin
levels. If you have been eating low carb or not a lot of food, you won't
have a lot of glucose in your blood or much stored in your liver. When you
are diabetic you need to eat some carbs when you drink to keep BG from going
too low while your liver is occupied.
