I used to love eating jam on toast but for whatever reason I just havnt had it for ages. I went to buy some the other day and of course its all displayed in carbs per 100g. Which then makes you think this is really hard to work out!!

Good too see its maybe not all that bad! Ill give it ago, and put your "Jam factor" to the test!! Yum.
 
I was bad this morning and had a toasted tea cake with jam (45 + 5 g CHO) but my blood sugar was only 3.1 so I was allowed it.

I figure that if I have a blob about the size of a heaped teaspoon it would be approx 5g CHO if it was 100% sugar - which it won't be... so i reckon on more like 3-4g or thereabouts for a teaspoonful. And of course sugar is only medium GI anyway... so it shouldn't cause too many problems spread on a low GI bread.

Even seems to work with croissants on a weekend (where the fat helps to take the edge off the spike too) 🙂

And the tomatoes, baked beans and black pudding. You can't have a proper train smash* without ALL the bits.

* We call it a train smash in our house because it looks like a disaster on the plate.
 
cup of tea, 2 slices of toast with marmite 33.2g total carb
 
I was soooo bad this morning. I had a roll with sausage and bacon on it and a mug of coffee? I've been sick all week and this is the first day I actually felt like eating.....that's my excuse! 😛

Haha - Weird int i! I dunno It just makes it easier at work, and for some reason someone told me ages that "Milk was bad" When I was an impressionable early 20 something year old.. So I drink black tea and coffee now, and dont really have milk with my cereal. Occasionally at the weekends. I just dont really like it!!
