sorry me again! just been to lidel and brought a tomato and mozzarella whirl ( that's what it said on the shelf) but as it was from the fresh bakery it didn't come with any info. should of thought and asked but didn't, so what do I log it as? its a bit like a pizza but in a whirl so do I weigh and log as pizza? no idear of ingredients. im still at the stage of guessing cico ( I know I shouldn't and im working on it!) so not the end of the world but just wondered what to do both in this instance and in future. thanks again for advice :)

    If it's like a pizza, maybe log it like a pizza.

    I think it is but cant decide if its dough or pastry! I know that sounds stupid but I cant decide if its more like a pizza or some sort of Danish pastry! ( it was very nice though)

    Just log it as pizza, it probably doesn't make that much difference. One meal will not ruin your diet. In the future try to stick to things you know the calorie information for.

    I think Tesco do the same sort of thing, and I've looked online for the calorie content and depending on which site you go on I have a feeling it ranged anywhere between 290 and 375 calories.....I would log it on the high side, just to be sure!

    I think so too...might have to try them.

    I went back and added the directions in case someone wanted to try them.
