Hi, I'm trying to make good choices when I comes to carb/sugar but I'm struggling to know what sort of numbers I should be checking for on the food labels as in grams per 100g of product, is there a rough guide? For example, I chose a muller light yoghurt today thinking diet and compared the carbs/sugar to that of a Greek style diet yoghurt and chose the muller light as being the lower option on the label.....shocked it sent my BG to 10.4!!!!

Any guidance would be appreciated x
 
Usually full fat is better. My own limit doing LCHF, low carb high fat (and moderate protein) is 5 gram of carbs per 100 gram or if I know it will be used sparsely a bit higher, like spices.
 
I just look at sugar and carbs and always go for full fat versions of everything.
 
I think the muller Light yoghurts have up to 8 or 9grams of sugar depending on the flavour so maybe that cause the spike?
