Does anyone have a book that tells you all the grams of carbs for each food, like apples, cherries, oranges, etc? Things that dont' come with a label telling you the carb content?

There are several out there in book stores. Also you can join Lose It, or Sparkpeople, they have an excellent data base and you can add your own foods to it.

I use "The Ultimate Carbohydrate Counter" by Nolan & Heslin. It lists many foods, portions, carbs, calories, sugar and fiber. It is available in paperback for under $10.

Laura,

Thanks for the book rec. I found it online.

Gayle, I went to sparkpeople and tried to search for carb counter . How do I get access to the data base telling how many carbs are in each food?

Thx!
