Kate carb counting…
Hello Kate,
If you do the “exchange system” counting carbs is not really different save the only thing that matters is the carbs, not the vegetable type, not the dairy group, the lean meats… nada… only the carbs truly matter from the dosage standpoint.
How they will break down if there’s sufficent fat in the meal is another question, but understanding the proportions is what the whole food intake is about regardless of exchanges or carb counting.
Can you identify what a serving is, of XYZ food… accurate figure out how much food is on the plate, in that bowl, etc… if you’re fairly good at it… no major sugar surprises… if not, sometimes you get a number that doesn’t equate….
IMHO
