How do YOU count carbs?

[Lilian]

I find the carbs and cals app on my phone invaluable. The thin I like best is the fact that if there isn't an item there I regularly use, I can not only put it on myself, I can take a picture of it so I can see the portion size without having to weigh it every time. For example I have a small glass of kefir every day. I took the nutritional information from the carton and put on the app, I put it in the glass I use that corresponds with the carb and calor count, put the glass against the carton to show the size of the glass and took a photograph of it. Originally there was a free version but that seems to have disappeared

just as long as I didn't mind the CIA knowing what I ate

More likely targeted advertising on the Internet.....

My computer doesn't 'scan' barcodes and I only have a pay as you go phone with no internet access. I'll stick with the book as I'm an old fogie

I'm 77 and have enough IT in my life with this laptop.

I use "Weight by Date". I guess it does pretty much the same as any app. I just weigh what I eat. On the down side it's very Americanized and has a large database of US processed foods. I don't eat processed foods so not a problem. Gives me up to 10 nutritional pieces of data including carbs. I'm sure there's other Windows based bits of software.
