[QUOTE="Jen&Khaleb, post: 167390, member: 13077"] To carb count a stew just weigh the potatoes, pasta etc as you put it in the pot so you have the total amount of carbs then weigh the whole thing at the end and divide the amount of carbs by the weight. This then gives you the amount of carbs/gm that you can then multiply by the serving. This works with cakes and anything else. It isn't entirely accurate but close enough that you shouldn't get a big high/low. If you use the same recipes a lot you should only need to work out the carbs the once. Carb counting is a lot better than relying on trial and error alone. I make porridge all the time and don't need to carb count it anymore. The consistency I use works out that there is 10gm carb for every 100gm. I probably should have mentioned I have a calculator sitting with my scales :lol: [/QUOTE]
