Carbohydrate counting involves three steps: 1. Identifying foods that contain carbohydrates. 2. Measuring or estimating the amount of carbohydrates in those foods. 3. Keeping track of the total carbohydrate intake per meal or day.
Common sources of carbohydrates include grains, fruits, vegetables, dairy products, and sweets. Using tools like food labels, measuring cups, and carbohydrate counting apps can simplify the process.
