How do you get info like these
For example, 1/2 cup of cooked beans contain 15 grams of carbs and 8 grams of protein. The best sources then become cheese, which has no carbs, or nuts (1/4 cup nuts have 5 grams of carbs and 5 grams of protein).

Is there a website that can give this info pleas help
Thanks

 

I guess it is ok to have milk or curds rather than cheese, just remember that both do have carbs while cheese has none. But milk first thing in the morning can be an issue if you are pre-diabetic like me. It raises blood sugar when milk is consumed first thing in the morning, but again, only an issue if you are pre-diabetic.

The nutrition information I had written about was provided to me by my dietician who I meet every 2 weeks to go over my diet chart.

A cool website to check out is FitDay - Free Weight Loss and Diet Journal. It is free and I use it to record my daily intake of foods - you just enter the food and the quantity and it records the calories, fats, carbs, proteins etc. It also has a fair number of indian foods, for example, chappatis are under whole wheta tortillas. Additionally, if a food is not listed in there, you can create it yourself under custom foods and copy in the nutrition value from the food package.

Hope this helps!

Soccer Mom,

You're welcome! I wish you the best success in this endeavor! It can really be done on low carb diet .. I am living proof ... 4.5 pounds lost in past 1.5 months .. and that too with minimal excercise ... Due to medical conditions, I cannot work out right now, so all I do is walk 10-15 mins after each meal from one end of the apt to the other!

This is really unbelievable for me who had to previously fight for every ounce of weight loss!
