Paula: calories in prepared polenta--Thanks

[Guest guest]

Thanks for sending this link! [ http://www.calorieking.com/foods/ ]

 

I did a search on it, just putting the word " polenta " in the bar, and

came up with a page that had several choices. I chose the San Gennaro

Traditional polenta chub and it reported 20 calories per oz. So I

figure 320 calories per 16 oz chub. The Red mill on the same page

lists 1/4 cup dry as 130 calories. So I'm thinking that if I make

polenta with about 5/8ths cup of the dry, the calories will work out

about right and the points will be the same.

 

Thanks again for this link! I'm going to bookmark it for future

reference.
