g plan because they can provide important nutrients and increase your energy. Fiber, for example, can help you control your weight, prevent constipation and lower your cholesterol levels.
Carbohydrates are not all bad for you, but counting them each day can help you manage your healthy lifestyle better. Look at the "eat more of this, less of that" guide to get an idea of carbs that you can swap out for healthier ones.
The amount of carbohydrate in foods is measured in grams (g).
Meal plans created by the American Diabetes Association advise that about 45% of calories should come from carbs. This measures out to 45-60 grams per meal and 10-25 grams per snack, totaling out to about 135-230 grams of carbs per day.
Look at the nutrition labels on the foods you eat to find the carbohydrate count. When you count the carbs for all of your foods, you can keep track of how many carbs you are eating each day.
Talk to your diabetes advisor or nutritionist to create a meal plan that works for you.<end_of_turn>
