Hi, fiestas. The rating of the salad dressings depends on the type of fat, as well as amount of sugar and salt. If you elect those based on olive or other healthy oils, with minimal sugar and salt (and more emphasis on seasonings), you’ll do fine.
Regarding the nuts (and seeds), 1/2 ounce = 2 tablespoons.

1)Does the rating for salad dressing depend on grams of fat, grams of sugar or calories? There must be a way to judge between the various salad dressings isnt there?\\
2) What quantity of nuts is 1/2 oz? Is it an 1/8 cup or 1/4 cup?

Hi, fiestas. The items in the Menu Planner are listed as absolutes, and the amounts are given by the user’s individual stats. The salad dressings are generally in the mid-to-high blues.

Can you add the following items to the menu planner: 1/4 cup of egg substitute so it could get a very light blue rating, 1/4 and 1/2 cup crackling oat bran. There must be some salad dressings that would get a very light blue rating aren’t there? How about 1 tsp or 1 tbs vinaigrette dressing for salads since all the listed salad dressings seem to be a darker blue rating. How would 5 oz of greek fat free yogurt be rated? hopefully get a light blue rating.

thanks for the response of how to find the menu history- got it. Another question from a week ago. What quantity of almonds, cashews, peanuts and walnuts = 1/2 oz. Many recipes and snacks have 1/2 of various nuts. I don’t have a scale. Also is soy milk is one of the 5 things never to eat what about soy protein powder and edemame?

I am new here today and I am very confused. There is a lot to figure out. I’m not even sure where to start and I don’t have many of the things that are on the menus. I am a little overwhelmed. Any suggestions would be nice. Thanks, Lynn

hi everyone. I am new today. I am excited to get going. It makes so much sense but after looking over my menu I am feeling like there are some things I would never eat.
I have changed my diet so much over the past years and still can not seem to loose the weight. Currently weigh 197 and would be very happy at 140. Praying this works.

Hi, Meplus3. Are you referring to the “health bar” in the Menu Planner? If so, it is an granola- or candy-type bar designed to improve health. We recommend those with whole food ingredients and very little added sugar, such as Pure Bar (you don’t need to buy that specific type, just look at the ingredients to get an idea of what we recommend).

Christy, when I click on aps there is no bar with menu history, etc. It says something like “before you start” and has the video on that page after I click on apps. There must be more steps to get to the menu bar with menu history? Need help

Hi fiestas,

To get to your previously created menus, simply click on Apps, and then click on the Menu History Button. A list will appear with all of your menus sorted by the date they were created. Click on View to the right of the menu you wish to see.

Best 🙂

What is a healthy bar for a snack

fiestas 10 years ago

How do I find the menu\’s that I have already completed. If I go to the aps and then menu planner I have to start all over again. Can you add the following items to the menu planner: 1/4 cup of egg substitute so it could get a very light blue rating, 1/4 and 1/2 cup crackling oat bran, 1 tsp and 1 tbs vinaigrette dressing for salads since all the salad dressings seem to be a darker blue rating 5 oz of greek fat free yogurt to hopefully get a light blue rating.
