Carbs & Cals Flashcards are a visual guide to carbohydrate & calorie counting. The pack contains 54 durable cards showing photographs of popular food & drink items. One side of each card displays the food or drink portion & states the prepared/cooked weight below the image. The reverse of the card shows the same photograph but also clearly shows the amount of carbohydrate & calories in that portion. The Flashcards contain items from the following categories: Biscuits & Crackers Bread Breakfast Cakes & Bakery Items Desserts Drinks Fruit Meals Meal Accompaniments Meat & Fish Potatoes Rice Pasta & Grains Snacks Take-aways & Vegetables & Pulses. Carbohydrate counting is an important part of diabetes management particularly for Type 1 diabetes & these Flashcards provide an invaluable tool for anyone engaged in this process. For people with Type 2 diabetes or those trying to lose weight the Flashcards are also a great resource in learning about the calorie counting process. They take out the guesswork & time spent weighing food by showing the calorie content in each food photograph. The Carbs & Cals Flashcards are a great accompaniment to the Carbs & Cals book. PLEASE NOTE: the foods & drinks in this set are different from those in the Carbs & Cals & Protein & Fat Flashcards (ISBN 9780956443083) so it is possible to put both sets together to make a jumbo set of 108 cards with different foods & drinks for carbohydrate calorie protein & fat counting.
