I have the Collins gem Carb Counter, which I bought via Amazon, it's quite a handy little book to have and covers most things.
 
Great thanks, I will go on now and buy it. I usually go into Costa Coffee at the weekend with my daughter, is there anyone goes in here and what could I have with my coffee. I feel all I am doing is asking questions but just want to get this into my everyday life. Thanks again :?
 
Cosy, I have a set of NUTRISCALES from Lloyds chemists around £15 two years ago and I find them invaluable. Thya weigh all foods in either lbs or grams and give the amount of calories, fats, saturated fats, protein, sodium and CARBS. So all I need to do is weigh my food and type in the appropriate nember given in the handbook to that food stuff and hey presto I get the nutritional values.
Why not just pop into Lloyds and take a look, regards with the low carb diet x

Igo in to my local Costa quite often.[The barista calls mw "darling!"] I usually have a vanilla latte [no sugar syrup] and whole milk. I sometimes share a croissant with my other half. I find SMALL portions of most things ok.
