Who doesn't love a Jamaican patty from time to time? I know I do, but after finding out how many calories and grams of fat are loaded in those babies, I think I may have to reconsider them altogether. Thank-God for nutrition labels! Can you believe that 1 large patty contains almost 700 calories and 36 grams of fat??? For those of you following weight watchers that's approximately anywhere from 17-20 points in total...for one patty. That's about 85% of one's caloric intake...yikes!!!
Thank-God that the package for the Jamaican patties at an event I was at this afternoon was laying around and I was able to check the nutrition facts label. Eating one and not having the nutrition label to go by, definitely would have spelled disaster to my diet.
As much as a girl has always loved the odd occasional patty, after today...not so much.
