 Ossie-Sharon 12 years ago | Hi, again, LaRae. It is important to note that when there is a range (i.e. “1-2 carbohydrates”) that is for when you do not or do have physical activity during the day – more food for more activity. |
| Ossie-Sharon 12 years ago | Hi, LaRae. The following is your pattern. The exchanges are similar to those used by the American Diabetic Association.
Breakfast: 1-2 starches, 2 proteins, 0-1 fat, 1 fruit
Morning Snack: 1 starch, 2 protein, 1 fruit, 0-1 vegetable
Lunch: 1-2 starches, 2 proteins, 0-1 fat, 1-2 vegetables
Afternoon Snack: 0-1 starches, 1 protein, 0-1 sweet, 1 vegetable

| Ossie-Sharon 12 years ago | Hi, Rcmntgf69. If you list your gender, height, and weight, I can give your recommended pattern. |
 Rcmntgf69 12 years ago | Thanks Ossie – not completely on program but trying to increase type of food recommended into diet. I saw a post that occurred to me. Is there some formula for meals e.g. 1 cup carb. 1/2 cup protein etc. that would be easy to make up own meals? Also I found Pamela’s Whenever Bars (very good) is this OK on program? – thanks for assistance |
| Ossie-Sharon 12 years ago | Hi, Rcmntf69. The afternoon snack between lunch and dinner is the smallest – some people move some of the lunch items to there, or just reduce the lunch and increase the snack with similar items (for example, instead of a full cup of pasta with sauce at lunch – half a cup, and add a slice of bread with nut butter to the afternoon snack. |
| Rcmntgf69 12 years ago | I’m finding lunches are much larger than I’m used to or can manage! Any adjustment according to person’s age?What is avatar? |
