[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 1457703, member: 245335"] Just Google the food and you'll get all the nutritional values you need. There are apps for the phone/tablet and similar programs for PC. There are numerous carb/cal counting books available as well. If you calculate your calorie intake using something like the Harris Benedict formula, divide by 3 to give you how many CALORIES should be carbs as far as NICE and the NHS are concerned. Then, as a gram of carb is about 4 calories divide by 4 to give you grams of carb recommended by NICE/NHS. It will be 200 grams or so which for most of us is way too much. I got down to 40 gms per day just by cutting out bread/pasta/rice/potato. The only reason I haven't gone lower is I'd have to start omitting some of the vegetables that I like to eat and until recently there was no need. The important thing is to try it and see because we'll all be very different in what's good for us. [/QUOTE]
