I'm newly diagnosed with type 1 so i am not to clever when it comes too what i can eat but i have one question, I no that chips from the chippy are out the question .....How bad would it be to get a fish and peas from a chipshop?? I am trying to put weight on as i have lost alot over the mounths before i was diagnosed. So really its sugar and carb levels i could do with knowing.. Anyone?


Thanks

Chips from the chippy are not out of the question :) so don't worry.
Having type 1 or type 2 just means you have to be carb aware.
Have you been put on a basal bolus system? IE, injecting before each meal?
Chips from the chippy work out at about 10 carbs for 6 medium sized chips :)
There's a fabby book called carbs and calories which might be a great help for you.

Not to sure about mushy peas if they are the same as processed peas then they are 14 carbs/100gms
Plaice fried in batter 14 carbs/100gms
plaice breadcrumed and fried is 9carbs/100gms
cod fried in batter 7 carbs/100gms
Hope that helps :)

That is great, Not to bad just for the fish alone...I should be ok with that.

Thanks again!!

Breaded plaice normally weighs in at 7 or 8 oz so minimum for that would be 27 carbs.
If you havent done so buy a set of scales and weigh your foods this way you will soon get used to the carb content and then can just guestimate when out :)
 
agree with CarbsRok, that carbs and cal book is really good, definitely worth getting a copy, or you can buy the app if you have an iphone.

I'm a sucker when it comes to chippy, we have fish and chip friday in our office and I always say im going to be good, I have resisted for a few months now so not doing too bad in my new healthy regime!
