Buffets

Don't know if this is the correct way but I usually

1. eyeball what's what ie carby foods / non carby foods
2. get my plateful of carby foods / non carby foods
3. inject according to the amount of carbs on my plate
4. I would now get a dessert (if wanted) and do a second injection for the amount of carbs in this

the problem is what would you do if you wanted to pick at anything during the evening / afternoon ie cocktail sausage rolls / vol-au-vents etc?

Hi,

I think you have to find your own system and don't be too hard on yourself if it doesn't work 100% you can always correct later. I would probably do something similar and take a top up injection if I eat an extra helping later. The main problem with beige food as my other half calls it is keeping an accurate score. Its suprising how many carbs you can pick up.

Here's how I went on at my buffet

1. eyeball what's what ie carby foods / non carby foods
--- I did this - easy

2. get my plateful of carby foods / non carby foods
--- did this - easy

3. inject according to the amount of carbs on my plate
--- at this point I start to panic even though I've got all the things worked out in my mind or on paper/pc due to seeing lots of different carby things on my plate ie cocktail sausage rolls 2/3 / piece of quiche size less than a 1/4 of the quiche / 2 triangular sandwiches / asda mini haddock & cheese fishcakes 2
--- injected probably 6u QA but no idea why as I'm now in my panic

4. I would now get a dessert (if wanted) and do a second injection for the amount of carbs in this
--- didn't have any dessert

the problem is what would you do if you wanted to pick at anything during the evening / afternoon ie cocktail sausage rolls / vol-au-vents etc?
--- didn't really pick at anything
