' into Google will get you loads of information.Maybe to get used to the idea of balancing your diet, work out the nutritional value of any favourite dishes or meals.  For arguments sake, if you set out to limit your daily intake to say 90g of carbs per day as 30g carbs per meal, you'll soon get an idea of what foods come inside this limit, which would be too high.  For example, I find it easier to keep my lunch low as I make it for myself and eat alone at lunchtime, so this is always my lowest meal of the day, giving me some of my allocated carb allowance to carry forward to my evening meal with my husband. (It would probably be better the other way round ideally.)</blockquote>
