Hello
I just wondered whether there's a handy way of getting an idea of what constitutes low carb for ready made foods. I don't eat many ready meals but occasionally get things like a beetroot side salad and though there's sugar in the ingredients like most rubbishy instant food I wondered how to calculate what's too much.
In the olden days when they thought low fat was healthy I used to eat anything with that was less than 5% fat. Is there anything similar and simple to use for carbs? I've got a carb counter but am bedazzled by it - net carbs etc
Thank you !
