I was allowed 2-3 serves of carbs in a main meal, and 1 serve per snack.

I was also told cheese or nuts as an additional snack if still hungry. Not sure why cheese was ok if a glass as milk counts as 1 carbs serve, but whatever! It does get easier.

One of my favourite meals was salad, a piece of fruit and a roll or a slice of bread for lunch, that was something I found more filling.
