7. d the small amount of breading on the sole meuniere should not pose too much of a problem if you are eating non-starchy veggies with butter & avoiding large amounts of potatoes or starchy accompaniments.
8. a risotto is rice-based and although there can in some dishes be quite a lot of vegetables, meats and fish included, it can be a lot more trouble than it's worth picking these out.
