Hi. How did it work out when you counted the same as pots? If you count them I'd be tempted to only count half the cp value as they may only have a limited affect on your BG due to their low GI value. |

I think it was ok but i had to estimate everything as i forgot my cp book and not easy to weigh food as i was out. |

so do you count cp value in parsnips, I've weighed my portion of 100g which is 30/ 3cp. No sure if you count them or not, I thought I heard you do....help? |

Where did you get 3CP for 100g - not in http://dafneonline.co.uk/carb_counting.pdf so I would have not counted them. |

I wouldn't count them at all. Very low GI. I've been doing DAFNE now for over 3 years with great success & would view a parsnip as similar to a turnip or carrot. |

..I usually do the try adding one new thing to a meal ..estimate cp value ,test after 2 hours and adjust next time. I haven't tried roast parsnips but boiled work out at half cp value of potatoes for me probably because of low GI |

I had this discussion with my dietician in Dublin. I find it very hard to gauge how much parsnips are on CP scale. Looking at some packaging from Tesco, on some ready made meals (I don't normally eat these only just for research purposes), parsnips would be as heavily laden in CP's as potatoes. Everyone is different and it does depend on the fat content with the rest of your meal with regards to carb absorption. |
