This made me a think of a bit of a game we could play..

Upload photo of meal & Light description (turns taken) - Guess the carbs... Educational and fun (Maybe!)

Winner recieves that weeks meal in the post.

Obviously this in no way offers any help to the original question... Sorry..!

I reckon about 20g CHO each (and worth every gram!)
 
Id go with 24g each
 
Another to get us underway -

A pizza which Id photographed for the carbs and cals ap.

Its asda 10 " thin crus make your own.

Im scared of cheese so no cheese nor tomatoe sauce.

BBq sauce base. Chicken bacon pepprs and onions.

Yum...

Guess the carbs for the whole lot!

My Diet program estimates 19g each so not bad really.

Batchelor's cup a soup (1 sachet)
Warburtons toastie (4 rounds)
Clover (small scraping)
Princes Beef Spread (small scraping)

Sorry I meant 2 rounds - 2 slices in total



Great thread you've started Benny, will come in very useful and helpful especially for those doing carb counting and not too sure on certain things 🙂
 
mm is it the orange wrapped warbatons? WM if so I stick to my guess

I reckon 15-17g-ish a slice and say 12g for the soup.

46g CHO give or take 🙂
 
Batchelors Oxtail cup a soup
12.8g

Yes it's the orange wrapped Warburtons and it's 20.8g per slice 🙂

Any update on your Pizza Benny?

spot on with my bread though

Yowsers! That's pretty hefty carb load. I'm used to 12g a slice Burgen these days!
 


I've never had Burgen. I don't really like brown bread eeeek!

Without disturbing this thread too much does anyone have any ideas please for a white loaf but with a lot fewer carbs than 20.8 per slice? You can pm me if you like rather than taking things away from the thread or put it on here for others to see.
