Answer to Question 1

The Food Lists for Diabetes were developed for use by people with diabetes but can be useful to anyone wishing to control calories. The lists provide estimated grams of carbohydrate, fat, saturated fat, and protein in standardized food portions, as well as their calorie values. These are average gram values for whole groups of foods, so they often differ from the exacting values given for individual foods. With the calorie estimates committed to memory, people can make an informed approximation of the energy-yielding nutrients and calories in almost any food they might encounter.
