Guidance please

Thinking about making stuffed baked aubergine at some point, so to work out the carbs do I weigh the aubergine before baking it, even though I wouldn't necessarily be baking the stuffing for the whole time if you know what I mean? x

Personally, I make life easy for myself by assuming all above ground things eaten as veggies, including aubergines, contain negliglible carbohydrate, regardless of before or after cooking.

Yes I wouldn't count any carbs for an aubergine, they're mainly water!

As a general rule I always weigh before cooking, but make sure the carb guide I'm looking at is for the raw product. Things tend to lose water and therefore weigh less once cooked,( or in the case of an aubergine, it may have soaked up oil, so they're much less predictable once cooked.)
100g of aubergine is between 4 and 6g of carb, according to Myfitnesspal, so if I was eating 200g, which you might well if it was the main constituent of the meal, that would certainly be a unit of insulin for me.

Well Tesco states 100g aubergine is 2.2g so a 200g serving of stuffed aubergine would 'almost be half a unit for me so I would most certainly cover it x

According to the CARB & CALORIE COUNTER a 100g weight raw Aubergine has 2g carbs ~ just for reference a 90g cooked Aubergine sliced has 3g carbs (that is if it's fried in oil) I'd go with the 2g raw K. x
