University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust Carbohydrates PORTION LIST © DAFNE Project Carbohydrate Portion List Introduction This list is a guide to help you work out how much carbohydrate is in the foods you like to eat. The information in this book is based on average servings, so sometimes you may need to weigh foods to check if your servings are similar. Remember it is not only the food you eat at mealtimes that contains carbohydrate. Some snack foods also contain carbohydrate. 10g Carbohydrate = 1 Carbohydrate Portion (CP) 1 cup as described in this list refers to a standard metric 200 ml cup Food Labels The carbohydrate portions in this book are based on average contents from a number of different brands. You may wish to be more specific with your carbohydrate portions by looking at the nutritional labels on your food packaging. Amounts are given in ‘per 100g’ or ‘per serving/portion’. If you prefer to use ‘per 100g’ you need to know the weight of the portion you are eating. If you prefer to use ‘per portion’ you will need to check that your portion size matches that of the manufacturer. When calculating the carbohydrate content of the food you are eating you need to look at the total carbohydrate value given (not just carbohydrate from sugars). Below is a nutritional label from a pizza. It gives information in ‘per 100g’ and ‘per ½ pizza’. If you were to eat half of the pizza this would contain 33g of carbohydrate or 3CP’s. If you were to eat all of the pizza this would contain 66g of carbohydrate or 6½CP’s. When calculating carbohydrate/CP ’s you will need to round up or round down to the nearest 10g or nearest half portion (5g).
