Chips are about 1/3 carbs (33g carbs per 100g of chips)
The carbs and cals book is really helpful for showing visual representation of amounts of food if you can’t weigh.

Hello, welcome to the site. Is your daughter on a fixed dosage or does she understand her insulin to carb ratio with regards to the carb content in the chippy supper?

@nicolacook54 I used the Nutracheck calorie counter app to work out how many carbs in fish and chips. Seemed pretty spot on (or better than I would be capable of guessing anyway!). Good luck and hope your daughter enjoys the chippy!
