About these numbers

Different companies, different recipes, and different serving sizes will give different carb counts. Treat these as a reliable starting point, not a final word.
For more context on Shabbos meals, see our companion article "An Ounce of Preparation for a Shabbos of Success!"
When weighing a food item, weigh it without the peel.
*Kosher Codes (marked with an asterisk) are an FWD invention. We figured out the carb content of common kosher foods, then matched each one to an existing food-scale code with the same percentage of carbs. The codes are accurate for carb content only — please disregard the other nutrition facts the scale displays.
**Code 022 works for any soft baked good — challahs, breads, rolls, and soft cakes (brownie, sponge, marble, even kokosh). Their carbs are about half their weight in grams. As an old FWD saying goes: halve the weight, have the carbs!
