Willsmom-

 

I am not sure how many carbs you are allowed. I am a diabetic and here is an example of the amount of carbs I eat on a daily bases. I try to stick to it some says are a little harder than others. What works for me may not work for you. I count carbs instead of doing the exchange.  I am on insulin and carb counting is a lot easier to do. You may want to talk to your Physician or a nutritionist to make sure you are getting the right amount of carbs your body needs. 

 

Sample of my the amount of Carbs I eat per meal:

breakfast 30g of carbs

snack 15g of carbs

lunch 25-30g of carbs

dinner 25-30 carbs max 40, I eat 40g every once in a while.

 

Here is a link to our Diabetes Diet information, it list different meal planning tools, weight management and much more. 

 

Good Luck,
