Paninis

Can anyone help? I like paninis, but find it difficult to estimate the CP value. Same with baguettes.

Hi, I sometimes go to starbucks for lunch and, according to their website (see link below) a panini has just under 50 grams of carbohydrate, so about 5 cps, this usually works out for me.

just a reminder, there is a page on the site for recording websites that provide information on their foods i.e. carb values. I have added the link in the previous post to it, you can get to our page either by clicking 'Carb Counter' in the right-hand menu followed by 'carb links' near the top of the page OR you can following the link to it here .

My advice would be that 1 inch of baguette is 10 grams of carbs, picked that tip up in the dafne class and it has worked for me so far.......

As for paninis probably follows similar rules as above but paninis are smaller and thinner.....

Yes I had a paninis and I used the rule that as they were thinner that 2 inches was 10g and it worked out!!!

Just had a look at the link section there, its fantastic....


It has all the main takeaways in there, keep adding ppl...
