Choice of Veggies
 | Hi, RVers. You absolutely can rotate them. |
 | Do you have to eat exact items on the meal planner or can you rotate items? |
| | Hi, Chere. In the personal Menu Planner (the right-most option here: https://www.trimdownclub.com/menu-planner), you will see buttons with the various food groups a few inches down from the top of the page – click on “Vegetables” to see the lists for non-starchy vegetables. For starchy vegetables, see the subcategory under “Carbohydrates.” |
 | How do I find the list of veggies I can eat?ChereGafford |
| | Hi, mediatorsam. If it’s too much for you, then you can cut back on starchy carbs a little. Try to keep the protein and produce as much as possible. |
 | I am new to the program. Is it necessary to eat all of the food for a specific meal or snack? |
 | I’ve been wondering the same thing. I really prefer a lot of the “free” veggies, but I’ve been forcing myself to eat from the “limited” column and not allowing myself to count the free veggies as a serving of veggies. I think the wording on veggies list is a bit confusing – so I’m glad to hear this!! 🙂 |
| | Hi, msvoboda222. A serving of vegetables is generally considered to be 1 cup raw or 1/2 cup cooked – however, the current menu allows for 1 cup cooked even from the “limited” first column, and you are encouraged to have at least 1 cup from the “free” vegetables. |
 | When I have 2 servings of vegetables on my menu (sometimes 1 serving), I click on it for more information on which vegetables I can choose from. The first column is limited to serving size, second column is “free”. Which column can I pick from and if I can pick from second column, how much will fulfill this part of the menu? |
