[QUOTE="azure, post: 998624, member: 39639"] When I was first diagnosed years ago. I was given a handy carb booklet by the dietician and I remember her explaining to me that a 4oz uncooked potato was 20g carbs. I asked her how big 4oz was and she said to imagine it as a large egg! I protested that that was a [I]tiny[/I] potato : D 4oz is just over 100g but I find it easier to remember in ounces for potatoes - a 4oz is 20g carbs, 6oz is 30g, 8oz is 40g carbs, etc [/QUOTE]
