Found a mistake in Calorie King 2009 Book

I was at Bob Evans to have dinner. It listed the turkey as being only 1 carb, okay, but it also listed the bread and celery dressing as having 6 carbs and being only 30 cal. for 6 oz. I debated and debated but finally decided to go ahead and have that along with garden vegetables (14 carbs). I ate it and figured my BG level would tell the tale. I have been well-controlled for over a month since being dx'ed in April 2009.

1 hours later my BG was 200!!

I wrote to Calorie King and got a response that said their ONLINE data base shows that the dressing is 272 cal. and 29 carbs for 6 oz. Thanks a lot. Lesson learned. If it sounds too good to be true, as they say, it probably is.
