This is what I've been doing. Hence the need for this thread. I've been telling her what my research has found and trying to convince her my salad lunch has far more carbs in it that she's willing to acknowledge.

I'm thinking your suggestion is what I need to do next so she has no wiggle-room to deny what I've been telling her. Thanks also for those links. I already had the Calorie King link, but adding Mike's to my list of paper-proof just might be helpful in persuading the PA that I am not stupid

You mean I shouldn't just scream at her while flailing my arms about and tell her what an idiot she is? Gosh, you're no fun at all!
