[QUOTE="searley, post: 2408684, member: 31377"] I think calories are listed to help the obesity issue to help prevent the risk of obesity related illnesses etc.. calories in this case are there to make everyone aware of how healthy a choice is. where as carbs would be to target a much smaller smaller section of the population. Face it even a lot if gp’s and nurses don’t recognise the benefit of low carb yet. Those that need to carb count to medicate is such a small percentage.. and the T2’s that are diet only should know if the are going for a bowl of pasta it’s going to be high carb There are so many good apps/books etc that can give carb content of food that after a few weeks it’s easy to get a ‘good estimate’ I think if restaurants etc had to list all the different contents of every dish considering every illness out there you’d never be able to read a menu for the amount of info provided [/QUOTE]
