I agree with all of these except perhaps blackberries, 1 is 0.5g so that is low, but who has just 1, 20 is 10g or 1CP so be careful

According to Dafne, veggies (except potatoes), meat and nuts count as carb free. Christina

I would be careful, I reckon nuts have quite a few carbs

Nuts do have carbs, but because they are too slow for the quick acting insulin you don't need to consider them, however common sense should be used, if your having more than a handful you may want to consider a unit or two....

Whole bag 100grms of peanuts = 10 grms carbs. Pecans are not too bad and brasil nuts are much less. As a veggi I eat a fair few nuts. Brasil nuts crush easily and mixed with grated cheese can be used as a topping for a hotpot type dish.

Hi,

Useful to know about nuts as low carb snack, I quite like wasabi peas too, a few good handfuls (or more Very Happy ) will raise my BG by about 2ish, never measure how many I eat though so not very scientific. May try brasil nuts instead.
