<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> We've found that nearly all of the gluten free baked goods (bread, bagels, cookies, etc.) have much higher carb counts than their gluten-filled counterparts . . . You really need to look at the nutritional labels (for packaged foods) or calculate the carbs in a serving (for your "from scratch" foods) for yourself -- Using the standard estimates (that they teach to those with diabetes) for one slice of bread, one cookie, one medium bagel, just won't work with the gluten-free items . . . also, using a digital scale and measuring foods when you're at home helps you be much more accurate at home and better with your estimating when you eat out. If you're looking for GF recipes (for all kinds of things -- entres, desserts, side dishes, etc.) that already have the carb counts calculated, I heartily recommend any of the books by Carol Fenster -- lots of tasty GF recipes and they all come with nutritional information.
