How do you work out the percentage of the carbs in diet?

Can someone tell me how to work it out please? Thankyou

You can use an app like my fitness Pal to log your food and there is a setting somewhere that will show your percentages ... Can't remember where exactly - sorry. Watch out for some of the values of food on there that have been put in by other users - always check against the packaging

I didn’t, I just stopped eating them and tested to see what food does to my BS.

I used to have a notebook in which I wrote down the percentages for various foods. I use net carbs, so minus the fibre.
I used raw weights, so I could just put a pan on the scales, zero it and then add in the food up to the amount I worked out - if something is 10 percent carbs then every 10 gm of the food is a gm of carb, 5 gm of carb, 50 gm of food - I did keep a sliderule in the kitchen so as to work out the more difficult ones.

I don’t work percentages as the fat and fiber and protein amounts all contribute. I just only eat 20 g or less per day. Carbs are such a wild card, FOR ME
