Hi I am using the blood sugar recipe book and am a bit confused re calorie counts given e.g. Cinnamon porridge and apple is 290 and porridge with peach and also butter is 210. Same amount of porridge and milk in both. How can that be?,! Thanks. FG

Hi, are the recipes you’re looking at from the original blood sugar diet book, or the newer recipe book? I ask because I haven’t been able to find the porridge with peach and butter in the new recipe book, and I no longer have the first book. A number of people checked the calories from the recipes in the first book and found they aren’t always accurate. If there’s any doubt, it pays to check the ingredients against a reliable calorie source, either a book or online.
Hope it helps,
Dawn
