newbie! · 2010-09-27 18:02:20

Read the ingredients and the nutrition label and check for things like white flour and processed fats. My guess is there will be a significant amount of both.

Yes probably - you are talking about fried processed food here - you shouldn't pollute your body with that stuff

I dont think one or two will kill you, I have one with a curry, about 40 calories. I think that they are made with chickpea flour also which is a bit better that white. But they prob have lots of extra stuff in there too.
