2. There is so much junk or faux food on these lists that it's hard to find the real thing! It would be nice if only basic, real foods were at the top of each list, then put the man-made or tampered-with stuff in another category. I guess it's an indication of how little actual untampered-with food many Americans eat.

My scales weigh in grams or oz. In My Plan if I eat less than 100 grams - say - 55 grams, I delete the 1 in the first column & type .55. That way it records the correct figures. I find that a lot of Brit foods have carbs etc in different amounts to American food So I work them out for myself from the packaging on 'Custom Foods'. I hope this is helpful.  |
