  • Calculating carbs

    I've searched the forum and can't see this addressed anywhere so apologies if it's been covevered recently.
    I'm experimenting alot with cooking for the family as we're all on the Atkins plan. I'd like to convert the ingredients into nutritional breakdowns, mainly so I can check the carb content. Can someone please suggest where I can get such information?

    Many thanks

    Re: Calculating carbs

    I use fitday to do that.

    www.fitday.com

    I enter the total ingredients for the whole recipe, then divide all the totals into individual serving sizes and then enter 1 serving of the recipe into a "custom food". Works great.

      I see Fitday doesn't like grams, the standard weight in the UK so I have to convert my gram ingredients into US cups first then hop back again. I do like that food customising feature though.
      Thanks for the link
