[adrian207]

Hi everyone. My question is, when looking at the nutritional info on food packaging which bit should I be more interested in

1) the cahbohydrates figure or
2) the of which sugars figure

Thanks in advance

The total carbohydrates. The sugars are included in that amount and are of no relevance to us.

Cheers bluetit. So am I right in understanding that the carb figure should be 5 or under?

It may be impossible to find everything under 5g. But as low as possible and up to 10g. per 100g.

Right I'm off to Asda
Anybody want a freezer full of ready meals. I'll throw in the carbs for free.

You count the carbs it says carbohydrates on the package. Under it says which sugars. So you count the carbs, the which sugars just tells you how high the sugar content is. The higher it is the quicker it hits your system.
