Type 1 diabetic here; Anytime I eat out I check to see if there is a website with carbohydrate counts so I can use the proper amount of insulin. Usually it's something like this...
Google Search -> How many carbohydrates in Taco Bell 7 layer burrito -> I'm feeling lucky -> Taco Bell's website with nutritional information.
Many restaurants if you ask at the establishment do not have this information, but it is typically available through their corporate websites.
- toomuchtodo 12y agoWhy do you use a website instead of a calorie counting app with the data built in?
- nknighthb 12y agoAs someone who has tried to use such apps to actually count calories, unless you've got a barcode, finding the right thing, especially for fast food, is a massive PITA, and they're not always up-to-date. Websites are way faster and more reliable.
- bigtunacan 12y agoExactly.
- bigtunacan 12y agoRecipes and menus change faster than calorie counting apps can keep up. Additionally most of these apps are not comprehensive. I do use Calorie King and others apps as well, but they are not a substitute for direct data from the company.
