[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 1882831, member: 468714"] If you consider the interaction of insulin with carbs and conversion rates of protein to glucose as well as low carb diets, calorie counts are pretty useless. And I agree with [USER=181361]@helensaramay[/USER], unless you eat standard food like at MacDonalds all the time, the carb, protein and fat content will vary. An 'average' content might be placed on the menu against each dish and perhaps a fruit platter or similar supplied instead of ice-cream/sugary syrup etc desserts. That way the person with diabetes can calculate the carb content from the obvious ingredients. And is not supplying a list of ingredients so that those allergic to say, nuts or sensitive to say, gluten, can chose safely, a far greater 'sin'? [/QUOTE]
