Type 2 weighing carbs

[jenny707]

Hi
I am newly diagnosed T2 and found your comments about NHS carb counting a great relief as it does not make sense. I am following your low carb program and it is working as I only have a stone to lose but it does not explain whether you weigh rice , porridge oats and pasta dry or after it is cooked. Thanks Jenny

It will say on the back of the packet usually, something like "cooked weight", "as consumed" or "as prepared". Those nutritional values will obviously be post cooking.

Any nutritional values for uncooked food, will say "uncooked" or "dry weight"
