| Actually, I have realized why she (the educator) was going by that kind of scale. She was saying "carb choices". I asked her to stop calling them that, since you don't see "carb choices" on a label, you see carb grams. Of course, there are 15 grams to a single carb choice, so it would work out as 3:15 and 5:15. I do scale it out... 1:5 at breakfast and lunch, and 1:3 at dinner. So, I'm not waiting for the next 15 mark to up a unit.
