Principles of Carbohydrate Counting – Areej Al Saad (Part Two)

In the upcoming part of the session, the focus will shift to more advanced and practical applications of carbohydrate counting. This includes learning how to use a food scale and the carbohydrate factor to accurately calculate carbohydrate content, especially for foods that are difficult to estimate using portions or visual methods. Practical examples will be provided to demonstrate how to calculate carbohydrates based on food weight and its corresponding carbohydrate factor. In addition, interactive exercises will be introduced to reinforce understanding, along with guidance on calculating carbohydrates in mixed and prepared meals, helping parents and patients make more accurate nutritional decisions in everyday situations.
