Pay attention to food labels

Food labels include useful information on the carbohydrate content of packaged foods. It's also crucial to pay attention to portion size, especially when consuming foods that are high in sugar (simple carbohydrates) and have lower serving sizes than many people are used to. Cereal packaging and ads, for example, frequently exaggerate portion-size portrayals, making it simpler for individuals to eat more than one meal at a time.

A nutrition tracker is an excellent tool for tracking your regular food consumption. The majority are available as smartphone and tablet apps, as well as online. When you add carbs and other nutrients into the tracker, they are immediately computed. The majority of the information in these food databases is reliable. Keep in mind, however, that some of these applications allow users to enter unique nutrition information, which may or may not be true.
