[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 660834, member: 94045"] I have Carbs & Cals, available from Amazon. They also do a phone app but I don't use that. I use the "proper" book as opposed to the pocket version. When I first started it was my bible, and I still use it regularly. It has over 1,700 photos of food and drink, shown on plates etc with the weight of the portion, showing carbs, calories, protein, fat and fibre amounts. Lots of folk on here have either the book or the app. Lucky you off to the States. Have a great time - but be careful because the Americans label their food differently from us. Here in the UK the total carbs does not include fibre. The fibre is shown separately. In America, the fibre is included in the total carbs and shown as "of which fibre" so you need to deduct it. They also seem to have more sugar added to some international packed foods than we do here (same brands, different sugar amounts) [/QUOTE]
