Relation carbs-proteine
 | Thank you. |
 | Hi, EBurrell. One exchange is 1 ounce, just like the other pastas. The serving on the box is a reasonable portion size if you don’t have other main carbs in the meal. |
| | Could you tell me the exchange for Ezekiel Sprouted Grain Pasta. The box says one serving is 2 ounces (dry). The Exchange list doesn’t mention sprouted grain exchanges. |
| | Hi, Tweety. A “sweet” is either a source of concentrated sugar without significant nutritional value, or a combination of sugar with fat. |
 | I’m confused with the categories, what is the difference of a “sweet” I understand the other categories. |
| | The chicken olives Afritada has 3 proteins and 2 fat. My exchanges are mostly 2 proteins and 0-1 fat. It looks like this recipe exceeds my plan. How is this safe for me to eat as a meal? |
| | Hi, mbartlett776. Click on “View Menu Exchanges” to the right of your finished menu, an you will see the exchanges per meal. To see what goes into exchanges, you can use the lists here http://www.trimdownclub/exchanges-lists. |
 | I am missing something here where am I to get the number of proteins and fats and carbs I need in a certain meal or snack or daily |
| | How does this work? The chicken olives Afritada has 3 proteins and 2 fat, none of my meal exchanges has that much protein or fat. I made this recipe this weekend and I love it. It’s so delicious. |
| | Hi, EBurrell. You can use any of the Club recipes at whichever meal you want. The following are the exchanges for the recipes you listed: |
| | You had given me my exchanges about 4 months ago. I’m trying to incorporate some recipes from the website in my plan. I made Moroccan Hot Lentil Soup (minus the hot paste), Butternut Squash Muffin, Turkey and Ricotta Meatballs with Curly Kale, and Chicken Olives Afritada. How do I know what the exchanges are for each meal,because not all are listed. For breakfast, I like to eat dinner meals, to change the pace of having eggs and oatmeal in the morning. Could I have the lentil soup for breakfast? Do al 4 recipes work with my diet plan? |
| | Hi, jessmac, and welcome. What you get from the Menu Planner is tailored to your measurements, which may differ from the generic numbers represented by the 14-day plan. In the near future, we will be publishing a kit with which you can build your own plan, with meal patterns and exchange lists. In the meantime, the following is a recommended pattern for you – you can use the American Diabetes Exchange lists for the units here. |
 | Hi there, I’m new to the site and am slowly getting my head around it. The menu’s that I was given in my app were very different to the 14 day express menu. I’m really trying to understand what I can eat with proteins, carbs, fats etc and the frequency of each. I don’t want to always rely on the menu planner, so would like to know the portions I’m meant to be eating and when. I’m female, 40, 178cm, 88kg. My exercise has been erratic but I plan to go to the gym 4-6 times a week for 30 mins. Thanks for you help. |
| | Hi, EBurrell. The following is your planner. The exchanges were similar to those used for the American Diabetic Association diets. On your active days, you can add in all the extras (i.e. where it says 0-1 choose “1”): |
| | Yes I would like that. I’m 38 years old and will turn 39 in Sep. My height is 58 inches (4 ft 10 in) and I weigh 140 pounds. I usually just do a 1.5 hour walk 2-3 days a week. However, this week I have tried to increase my fitness. Saturday, I did elliptical level 1 for 20 minutes (moderate intensity) and ran on the treadmill for 10 minutes (3.4 speed). Sunday, I did elliptical level 1 for 20 minutes (moderate intensity) and ran on the treadmill for 10 minutes (3.8 speed). 2 sets of 8 reps of bicep curls, 2 sets of 8 reps triceps and 2 sets of 8 rowing extensions. Today, I did elliptical level 1 for 20 minutes (moderate intensity) and ran on the treadmill for 10 minutes (3.8 speed). 2 sets of 8 reps of bicep curls, 2 sets of 8 reps triceps and 2 sets of 8 rowing extensions. Mon, Wed and Fri are my down days. I don’t do additional leg exercises because of my knee problems. |
