[QUOTE="mattw, post: 1745020, member: 25679"] Hi everyone. I hope I am in the right forum here. I am looking for advice on starting low-carbing, and the best App to support that. For background, I am Type I since 2000, carb counting since 2001, and complication free so far except for a smidge of retinopathy. I turned 50 recently. The current project is a switch to a lower carb diet in order to help stay complication free - since I am about to do a "DAFNE-clone" course that runs in my area as 'revision'. Looking at the Cals and Carbs app and material, I am meeting quite a few ingredients that I have not used regularly, so I want to build up a bit of a recipe bank in the next couple of months to get a low-carb diet which is interesting and varied. As a step 1 I am aiming for 100-125g carbs a day (currently approx 200-250g). For a start I have the "Very Low Calorie" Recipe / Meal Plan book, which are also nicely low carb. I have been enjoying a few of these, but all the admin is quite hard work and swallows quite a lot of time - especially with the extra monitoring of BG etc at a time when I am changing things around. Ideally I would like to be able to have a set of recipes that I can plan ahead, which will give me nutritional information for the day, and ideally a shopping list. I would love to be able to upload the shopping list into a supermarket and then have the ingredients turn up at the door ([I]this last may be a bit optimistic[/I]). Plus I want to be able to input my own recipes. Can anyone give me a steer as to a App or similar that would be a good support / time saver? I have Carb and Cals for Android, but reading that the Recipe functionality vanished from the Apple version when that was upgraded I do not have that much confidence in that version. Do I need to switch to the Apple one? Thanks for any comments, and for reading this long first posting in the Low Carb forum. Matt [/QUOTE]
