[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 2366222, member: 21149"] Hi. I would advise ignoring Calories as they have little scientific basis with regard to the food you eat and are merely a measure of energy and not a food group. To minimise weight gain you are right to control the carbs. A good target to start with is 150gm/day or less if you can; find what works for you. Have enough fats, proteins, veg and non-tropical fruit. Unfortunately the obsession by the NHS, dieticians etc with Calories has resulted in the (bad) Low-Fat advice as fats have twice the calories than carbs hence the calorie-based advice to reduce the fats. The fats you eat don't clog the arteries - speak to your liver to reduce arterial clogging! BTW you might want to ask for Metformin SR (Slow Release) as it's much kinder than standard Metformin.
