I use an app called lose it. You set your goal and how many lbs you want to lose per week and it tells you how many cals you can eat per day, plus you can add exercise and what you eat during the day. I love it and it helps me control my cravings.

45 carbs per meal, rule of thumb

Greek yogurt,

That's proper austerity food and NO TV ;-)

Seriously, it's really easy to make your own yogurt and even the Greek style at home.

Anyone interested?

I enjoy eating it because it's good for me and I made it, you know, all by myself!

Apple Apps:

1. Carb counting with Lenny the Lion (Children's Version, but it will help)
2. CalorieKing (It seems to work very well)
3. Restaurants (A big help if you eat out very often)
4. MyNetDiary (Be sure to turn on the "Show Carbs" in the Settings or use the "Daily Details Report" function)

WebSites:

Calorie King
Coheso
Carbs Per Day

Good Luck! :)

The best app EVER is LoseIt! (http://www.loseit.com/#Home) If you don't mind me adding my two cents, I've used it for over two years and it's virtually failsafe... Because all the data is my own. Just sayin'.

The Lose It! app is very good for logging your food, but it does not give you the total carb count for the meal. You must resort to adding each item up as you input them. This is a problem that the "Lose It!" app has had for several years and the programmers still refuse to fix for people with diabetes. That is the main reason that I quit using the app several years ago.

Went in Atkins. Within days dropped to 121. Had blood work 95. Handheld glucose meter is not accurate.

How do open this on the internet rather than through here? What is the address?
