Jacket Potato with Carbonara
My diet is to stay off the SOFA - Sugar, Oils, Flour and Alcohol and this ticks the boxes. It carries a toll of 400 calories (the Potato 225 and the Carbonara another175) and only provides½ of a portion of Over5aDay. Service with a big side salad will improve the stats and help feeling fuller on your diet.
Counts as an Over5days meal on the Pro52diet.
