Carb book recommendations?

[mho357]

Hi all,

Can anyone recommend a carb reference book or should I just buy one that seems to be complete?

I think I could use one to help me make meal decisions.

Thanks,

M

Ditto! I have several different one's, but Calorie King has the most entries and is the most accurate, IMO.

I also have bought several, but keep going back to Calorie King. Even got a little pocket one (not quite as complete, but mostly the fast food and eating out I needed) that fit into my purse. Before that I carried the bigger one.

Does the Calorie King include Fiber counts?

I really like The Complete Book of Food Counts by Corinne T. Netzer because it lists everything........carbohydrates, calories, cholesterol, proteins, sodium, fat & fiber.

I use Calorie King's website quite a bit but didn't realize they have a book out.

Lately, I have been using MyFoodDiary.com as a tool for carb counting. If I'm cooking (rare) and need to enter an entire recipe into the program, it will give me nutrition info similar to a label on a food product, by whatever number of servings you enter.

I keep my computer on most days, so I just run to the keyboard and enter whatever I ate, or plan to eat and it will give me the carbs. Helps with restaurant food and fast food as well. I find it faster than looking up in Calorie King, but I agree that is the best book around. I have a copy somewhere!

You can also enter your insulin as a food...just enter "0's" in the fields.

There are similar programs out there, but this is a favorite of mine. It's easy to use. I think it cost a few dollars a month.
