I'm starting today :) but having never done this before I'm unsure how to measure carbs. When I read the label am I measuring carbs where it says 'carbohydrates ' or the part underneath that says 'of which is sugars'

Thank you

The entire lot not just sugars
If you follow the bootcamp rules you will never need to measure anything though. I think they’re pinned somewhere on the threads.

Use myfitnesspal app. It has the carbs for most foods and brands. You can set specific macro ratios (protein/fat/carb). Then it shows you on a pie chart the proportion of each.

I use My Fitness Pal. It gives you all of the percentages of fat:carb:protein too. X
