Re: , carbohydrate cheat sheet?

Hi Harry and all.

I can work those sites pretty quick so feel free to post any foods you would

like the carb count on and I'll look it up and post it.

I can work them pretty well myself, but who wants to access the internet

every time one wants to know the carbohydrate count in a particular food and

its amount.

Also are there some general rules of thumbs for things like:

breads

grains

vegetables

oils

meats

fish

and so on?

a quick reference guide to foods in general would be a great help for most

of us. I know one can purchase a little hand held calculator for various

foods and drinks, but I think it is only accessible by sighted folks.

One can also purchase and download the software to their own PC computer,

but is that program accessible and useable by the blind?

Also does any one know if such a carbohydrate counting book has been placed

in e-text, which is readily available to blind people?

I just think it would be nice to have a little file in e-text which is

easily accessible by all blind people who have a computer, and that is why I

would like to have such a reference in my computer.

Let me know if you are interested in creating such a file, and I will be

glad to assist if the project is too large.

You can download the USDA database of foods and install it locally on your

PC and it is very accessible. It's found at this page:

http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/srch/search.htm

BTW I've found it useful to keep a record via a word doc of foods I like and

their carbs so I don't have to search for them all the time. The initial

lookup work took me 30 mins and I just tag ones on as I need them.

I found the following one to be easy, too. You can access thew link below

and add it to your favorites and access the web page easily:

This is a terrible link below, so delete this message and I will try to get

a message with a better link.

I downloaded that USDA guide and tried to install it, but had to rely on

sighted assistance to install the program on my windows xp system. It is

complicated, but maybe I will finally figure out how to use this program.

It is confusing and difficult to get a quick answer, since there are so many

edit fields and combo boxes to navigate.

The hellp file is not vvery helpful either.

I suppose I , with some sighted assistance will soon figure out how to make

it work.

I still think a single text file would be the best option for a blind person

with a screen reader to navigate.

Harry, I installed it with no problems using JFW 4.51 on windows xp and can

use it quite easy but that is probably because I am use to using the online

version. Keep trying, you'll get it. I know others on the list use it as

well and but email Dean Masters for his text file of foods with carb

information that he posted about earlier today since that is what you are

really after.
