I seem to spend most of my time thinking about food!!!!, what can I have for Lunch, whilst eating my Breakfast, and what can I have for Dinner Whilst eating my Lunch, it would be great if we had a Seven day Menu Plan, in place so with a click , we could have it here at our finger tips, members could put a meal on here, with Carbs Sugar and fat content, I have a Carb and Calorie counter book, which is helpful, but it's mainly processed food, I am new to the Forum, so it may have been discussed before, I just get sick of how much time I have to think about all that goes with being a Type 1 diabetic, and by the way this site is AMAZING, have learnt so much from it, for instance, shouldn't eat Grapefruit if on Metformin, which I am taking, so thanks Peeps .

Hi. I think you will find it's statins that you shouldn't have grapefruit with, not Metformin?

Brown rice, all the negative attention diabetics get from the media
I find homemade vegetable and lentil soup with a handful of bacon lardons (i do mine in the slow cooker) doesn't affect my readings and it tastes amazing if I do say so myself. I haven't worked out the nutritional information though lol my maths skills leave a lot to be desired :)

Thanks Kerrygrant26, I do love my soups and lentils, i have a slow cooker, but never thought of making soup in it, will have a go at making it, I wasn't so good at maths myself, but I do know, that it can't be that high in carbs and fats,

The Calorie Carb & Fat Bible 2014 has a good comprehensive list of foods with all the nutritional information you need.
