Baked potato

[Bevjones]

Potato and spaghetti hoops (pasta) are both carbs. Maybe low fat cream cheese, grated cheese or hummus and salad instead of spaghetti hoops?
At school we learnt 50% veg/salad, 25% each of protein and carbs for a balanced plate (45years ago)

Hi @aimeeo i use carbs and cals for checking foods, on there a cooked jacket weight of 220g is 45g of carbs, there's other weights but it's handy for checking cooked weights, I find it easier to use this to work out carbs than anything else simply for convenience particularly if eating out

You can download it as an app on your phone too, I think it was £4.

Yes Carbs and Cals is the way forward.
I believe that the carb values change slightly depending on how the potato is cooked.
