Where are you finding peas at 1.5g like? Its something to go alongside a sandwich, fulfil me from dropping too much from my dinner to my tea, and I don't know what that's why I'm asking for suggestions xx
I know that particular bread works for me, plus at under 15g a slice its one of the better breads also I have to be careful with money as I'm unemployed, I'm not exchanging the protein bar as it was suggested to stick with them until I get some weight back on xxMaybe try to find a different bread that fits your desired carb need for that meal, or substitute the protein bar for something else?
Sorry but this is really starting to get to me, I don't mean to sound aggressive or blunt but if you were reading things properly you would notice it's 1 POINT 5g I'm looking for but I think you are reading it as 15g which it isn't xxOk, something to go with a sandwich, don't think peas would go really, you'd need about 120g, which wouldn't leave the sandwich much room on the plate.. I'm going to look at my book, I'll be back in a bit. I haven't used it much, so it's quite fun to use it.
Yes it would trust me, my dinner is usually 42g ish, and I don't do avocado as I said x
I'm looking to swap the cream cheese I am currently having for something with the same carb value, believe me when I say I'm sensitive to the insulin I'm injecting and from rigorous testing I KNOW that if I didn't have that to you 'measly' 1.5g carb I risk being hypo at the next meal, as you know diabetes is a very individual thing and WE know how our own bodies work, nobody else's xxSorry, I'm not sure I get this. Dinner is 42g and you're looking for 1.5g extra, or instead of. I would have thought 1.5g is probably "noise" in the 42 g big picture. I wouldn't trust labelling to this level.
Happy to be put right.
Everything mentioned is a tad on the expensive side to be having a small amount of and the rest of it going bad, I really do have to watch the pennies as being unemployed and the 'healthy' stuff being expensive as it is, jobseekers doesn't really allow a diabetic friendly diet as it is without having to buy things and throw a lot away xxOh, 1.5g, I was reading that as 15g, I don't deal in carbs that small. What about a tomato, a small bit of coleslaw, bit of beetroot, a gherkin, a small bit of some cheese with cranberries in, a carrot, some radishes, there's loads of stuff.

Its actually 1.4g not 1.1g lol, I love the stuff!! haha xxOne square of Lindt 90% is 1.1. I have a piece after my lunch every day. I NEVER count it. To be honest if I had to start counting anything below 5 I’d throw in the towel now. Good luck!
As I said somewhere above I have other problems too mainly a fear of food or carbs since another incident so its psychological too and that's why I don't add extra and adjust xxCan I ask what the breakdown is of the 42g meal? as far as I can tell it's 2 slices of bread (@15g), cream cheese @ 1.5g and a protein bar @ 9.6g. And you want to replace the cream cheese?
If you want to put weight on why don't you eat more and adjust your insulin as required?
