    Would ikea meatballs be ok? I see on myfitness pal they have extremely little carb. Sorry for all the questions. Also the cream sauce but I don’t mind skipping that if it’s bad

    Thanks for the reply. Looks like I seriously need to cut back then after being used to having around 300g of carbs a day. I’ll obviously know more when I get my meter

    Same with potatoes. I've read they are bad for you but if I have a Jacket potato with cheese and butter it comes up to around 30g of carbs, within the 45-60g limit. It's very confusing

    I've heard ready meals are bad for you but I have also read you should give yourself 45-60g of carbs per meal so would a 50g carb ready meal be ok? Sorry if it's a daft question

    She didn’t warn me off as much, she just said there were better fruits than them. She was all about eating things low in sugar and low in salt. She never mentioned carbs which seems strange

    I will look, cheers. I constantly find myself looking at low sugar, low salt, low carbs and I find it definitely confusing. I am finding this group extremely useful though, cheers

    The nurse warned me off strawberries but said potato was ok so she's definitely confused me lol

    I won't try it then lol. Cheers. I want to be as good as possible. I am so used to having takeaways, this is definitely a culture shock but probably a good kick up the backside to try and lose some weight

    Cheers. This is so helpful. Any idea on tinned fruit? I love mandarins and I was just wondering how good they were if I drained the juice

    That's a shame, as I like them and I thought that might be quite a good thing to eat. I do like omelettes so i'll look into doing them, cheers

    Baked potato with cheese and beans. Would that be ok?

    I thought cream would have sugar in though

    Is cream ok then? I thought that might be bad. Would strawberries and cream be ok for a dessert?
