How is the exchange of food from a food label?

That's the question. Since my mother-in-law and brother, are newly diagnosed diabetics, and my wife and I are on the heavy side, I'm trying to eat better. I've been using the program of the ADA exchange to try to plan meals. The problem is that a ton of food that I find no change in values ​​of the labels. I can not find online. So turn the wisdom of the group! Is there a way to use the Nutrition Facts label to calculate the number of exchanges in a food? How do I do? Thank you very much for your help! Peace, Tom

Just stick to the concepts. reduce or eliminate refined sugar, caffeine, starch, etc. Focus on whole grains, wheat products, vegetables, etc.
