[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2185530, member: 345386"] Mrtn - to be clear, I'm T2, and I eat low carb, but in thinking about your statement about how to judge how many carbs there might be in sides, like rice or potato, I think in our shoes, I'd do a bit of general prep. I'm not talking about getting into a book every time you go out to judge it (although if that works, crack on). I'm thinking that bearing in mind both rice and potatoes are cheap, I might go for preparing some rice, then putting an amount you might eat, or that I might usually serve to myself, or see on a plate when visiting a favourite eatery. I'd then weigh it, and make a note (on paper, on phone, or wherever suited). The same with potato. I'd then know steamed/boiled white rice = xgr carbs, per 100gr, cooked, and know how much it weighs (with a bit of tolerance), and thereby be able to take a stab at the carb count. Of course, I'd expect successes and failures, but I think I might learn some real basics. [/QUOTE]
