Fish and chips can be a real no-no for a lot of people unfortunately, especially if bought from the chippy and with the batter eaten also. You need to weigh the portion of chips to determine how much carbs you are eating in the portion. The Carbs & Cals book suggests that a large portion of fish and chips from a chip shop may be in the region of 160g of carbs (remember that there is flour used in the batter, so more carbs there), which is more than I would eat in a whole day, so it's important to measure portion size to make sure you are not overloading your system with carbs.
