Hi,
There used to be a book called countdown. 1)It had a list of all the carb contents in processed food. 2)Try looking on the Dr.Atkins website.

Oh Countdown!! Yes I had that book many moons ago.......! I just kind of think fish eggs meat cheese vege olives.....However, Not to put a spanner in the works, but they all blinken well count for me!!

I guess it would be any food not mentioned in the Dafne carb counter book.

There is no guarantee that because there is not an entry in the DAFNE carb book that there are no CPs. It keeps the costs down to exclude 0 CP items, but does leave this uncertainty on why there isn't an entry.

I have raised this with DAFNE team from my own experience and cost was given as the reason for not changing. If you find this a problem then let me know and if there are many who want this changed then I'll raise again with DAFNE,
