Counting Carbs question

Okay, y'all... I'm officially starting my countdown to going on the pump. The Endo wants to see me successfully work with counting carbs first. I saw my educator this morning, and got my initial ratio and correction scale. I'm comfortable with the concept... I just need some resources.

The book I got from them lists a few restaurants, and carb contents for some of the foods from them, however, the list is incomplete. Any good websites you all use to get carb contents on foods from restaurants, or other places?

I am really looking forward to seeing what my numbers do with the new system. I'm just not finding a lot on the net about insulin:carb ratios and carb contents in food. At least, not the kind of info I need.

Regards,
