So my patient Bonnie is spending the week helping her husband host holiday parties for his corporation in a variety of US cities. One of her goals is to maintain her weight and her blood sugars since she has diabetes.  She just left New  Orleans and alligator sausage behind. Next stop New Jersey and time for a light lunch to tie her over until dinners. Harold’s Deli and a corned beef sandwich came highly recommended. Well Bonnie did enjoy her sandwich once she got over the shock of the portion size. She sent it right over to me her favorite nutritionist who also went into a state of shock. It got 2 lbs. of corned beef. Bonnie did the wise thing and ate some and brought enough for 5 more sandwiches back to the hotel. Anyone want to guess the calories in that sandwich?
