Nutrition Update!!! ….Let’s Pray for: “The Hubig Pie”

 Occasionally these “ Nutrition Tips” will appear to help inform perhaps the less informed in hopes of living a healthier life style. Much of my nutrition information comes from the advertised product label or the app Carb Manager from Apple download ( free version).  The Mayo Clinic website always has nutrition updates as they are completely fact based due to comprehensive  research.

Recently owners and distributors have been pushing the return of The Hubig Pie. This has long been a New Orleans treat carried in lunch boxes and purses post WW2 era as an on the go delicacy.I will point out two things to caution on this treat if nutrition is part of your active lifestyle.The short tip, run as fast as you can from this one!

Here is the nutrition label and some things should jump out at you immediately. SUGAR!! In addition to Carbs. About a 3 day supply of them if you are trying to stay about 20 net a day.

Also look at the high sodium and No Vitamins…the Lard content will explain the high saturated fat. Here is the scoop on saturated fat( commonly know as animal fats.

 Nutrition Recommendation D- ! But wait, if it is an absolute must..each New Years Eve substitute a Hubig Pie and Morning Call large coffee for champagne libations…no headache, no DWI just lots of guilt to the next New Years Eve…Good Luck “Mr.Hubig Pie”on your return debut.
