Carbohydrate Counting Linda St. Clair, MS, RD, LD, CDE Office of Child Nutrition WV Department of Education

I have diabetes. What should I eat? Balance your plate Exchange Plan Carbohydrate counting

Choose MyPlate PROS Simple to use Visual Balanced CONS Uses estimates Combination foods are difficult

Exchange Lists Controls all aspects of diet Requires a list of foods and their portion size Combination/packaged foods are difficult

Carbohydrate Counting Focuses on the main nutrient that raises blood sugar No “good/bad” foods Uses readily available information from food labels or lists Most accurate of all methods

No Matter Which Plan is Chosen… Keep food intake consistent from day to day Choose whole grains half the time Choose whole fruits and vegetables most of the time Choose lean proteins Choose low-fat dairy products Limit fats, salt and sugars Limit sugary beverages; choose water

Know which foods contain carbohydrate Grains (breads, crackers, rice, hot and cold cereals, pasta, tortillas Starchy vegetables (potatoes, peas, corn, winter squash, legumes/beans Fruits and juices Milk and yogurt Sweets and desserts

Keys to accurately estimating carbs Recordkeeping Portion size Using food labels correctly Allowing for added carbohydrates

How to keep a food diary Write down everything Recording foods before they are eaten is best If not, as soon as possible (not at the end of the day) Be honest Use the information to help make better choices the next time

Barriers to keeping a food diary Takes too much time Too difficult Forget Not convenient Don’t know the carb content Ignorance is bliss

Estimating Portion Sizes Make it easy to visualize Use measuring cups/spoons correctly Use common items as references

Using food labels Serving Size Total Carbohydrates

Added Carbohydrates Chicken breast, batter dipped = 13 gm carb Chicken breast, roasted with no breading = 0 gm carb
