How do u measure ur carbs?

[cafe_et_creme]

Hi

I havent been that strict when measuring my Veggies and Salad, in the book it says to use Cups to measure. How big is a cup? surely its not a tea cup size? or is it a mug size? does any1 have any alternative measurements i could go by?

a typical example of my daily veg intake is half a pepper, half a courgette and few mushrooms with my dinner, a salad for lunch, which takes up roughly half the plate. and sometimes a few mushrooms at breakfast.

Does this sound about right, quantity wise?

You're in the UK. So measuring is alittle bit different there than in the US. What you need to do is use a measuring jug---250 ml is roughly 1 cup.

You can get measuring cups and, incidentally, proper measuring teaspoons and tablespoons from Tesco. They come in sets of four:
- 1/4 Cup
- 1/3 Cup
- 1/2 Cup
- 1 Cup

And
- 1/4 tsp
- 1/3 tsp
- 1 tsp
- 1 Tbs

And yes, 1 Cup = 1 teacup.
