but does anyone know off hand of anything with around 1.5-1.6g carb? I'm fed up of cream cheese and looking for something else, any suggestions welcomed and appreciated, tia :) xx
 
Unfortunately, no.
But as has been discussed previously, the measurements of carbs/100g and our BG meters are not very accurate.
Therefore, your search might be extended with little impact if you go for 1 to 2 ( or dare I say 3) g.
 
KP salted peanuts @ 1.7g per 30g 1.5g of which are sugars with a slower uptake with the 15g fat.
 
Not interested in nuts as a substitute I'm afraid as I also have a Nature Valley protein bar at the same time, sorry should've mentioned that in original post xx
 
Plain yoghurt, maybe with some nominal amount of low carb fruit to make it more interesting?
 
Or what about one of those cheeses that have fruit in, like a Stilton with apricot, or something, no idea how much you'd have to eat to get the right amount of carbs, but it might be fun finding out.

That idea has made me hungry.

Most yoghurts have far more carbs than 1.5g alone let alone adding fruit, there is only 1 yoghurt that I know of with that nutritional information x

There aren't many fruits I'd have as they are far too carby, I have a problem with eating too since being diagnosed so things aren't easy x
 
Half an avocado? That’s about 1.5g...

Or olives, a hard cheese, or a hard boiled egg maybe?
 
Peas? What role do you want this food to fulfill? what are you hoping to get from it, what sort of food do you want?

Where are you finding peas at 1.5g like? Its something to go alongside a sandwich, fulfil me from dropping too much from my dinner to my tea, and I don't know what that's why I'm asking for suggestions xx
 
According to the book I was given last time I went to the hospital, 125g of natural yoghurt has 10g or carbohydrates. Most small pots of it have about that much in.

Or 3 fish fingers. 4g of carbs each, according to the book, it's by Diabetes UK, and has photos of all the food on plates, so you get a real sense of portion size.

Yes it would trust me, my dinner is usually 42g ish, and I don't do avocado as I said x

I edited to say that you can’t taste the avo, but you must have beaten me to it with your reply! It just there to make it moist. But if you’re allergic to it, that’s a different thing, obviously.
 
Maybe try to find a different bread that fits your desired carb need for that meal, or substitute the protein bar for something else?

Yes which is much more than the 1.5g I'm looking for :confused:
