[QUOTE="Fairygodmother, post: 2313466, member: 68789"] If you weigh, look it up and do the maths it gets easier to eyeball if eating out, something I’ve not done for awhile, but hope to do again before my clogs are popped. It’s still possible to get it wrong though so I ask things like has the cook used sugar in this. In the early days after the Dafne course I used to take scales with me too, and it helped. Now, at home, I use scales, packet info, recall of carb content etc. I find it makes a difference, but do curse that it takes more faff time. I recently said no to a delicious looking muffin a friend offered when we were out walking because I knew that if I guessed it was higher or lower carb than reality I’d be embarrassingly hypo or puffingly hyper; either way it’d probably have meant going behind a tree or into the brambles for a pee, and there’s nothing better to spoil other nature lovers‘ days than the sight of an old woman in the undergrowth.
