Message: <blockquote data-quote="Snapsy" data-source="post: 1517090" data-attributes="member: 265172">I remember a dust-up I had with my DSN and dietician during my local equivalent of the DAFNE course, all about baked potatoes.Out of interest - for homework - I thought I'd do a raw vs cooked calculation comparison. We were given the calculation equations below.I weighed a raw 'old' potato and calculated its CHO using the raw 'old' potato figure per 100g (17g CHO per 100g potato)I then baked it.And weighed it once it was baked (obviously it weighed less at this point), calculating its CHO using the baked potato figure per 100g (32g CHO per 100g potato).Two COMPLETELY different numbers. But for the same potato!<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite11" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll Eyes    :rolleyes:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite16" alt=":banghead:" title="Bang Head    :banghead:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":banghead:" /></blockquote>
