menu planning
 | Hi, rksjackson. Yes, there is logic in that, and the Menu Planner takes all of that into account – protein in the morning, similar amounts of fat each day, less food in the evening. The amounts in your pattern fit your needs well according to the data you provided in your profile. No worries! |
 | I see what the suggested meal plans include general 8 carbs per day, 10 protein per day, 3 fats per day, 2 fruits per day, and 4 vegetables per day. Is there a logic in when you should eat the right amounts at the right times? Like how they say having protein first thing in the day helps regulate blood sugar. Are there certain times of day to eat certain categories, etc. Is there an article that talks about the formula for success in a little more detail. I’m worried I’ll alter the menu too much and get my numbers out of wack or eat everything I should, but not start the day with protein, etc… |
 | Elaineshealth, we have checked your menu and we can see that you need to select more foods under Snacks in the Fats Group. Each bar under the Meal Times, needs to be fully blue for the Food Group box to turn solid blue. The Meal Time bars fill up after you select a new food, until it fully lights up after you select the minimum amount of required items. |
| | Hi Elaineshealth, |
 | I am just starting week 2. I am finding it frustrating to do the weekly menu planning. The protein sectin is not blue, indicating that I have still not selected enough protein. I can’t find any easy way to see how many I have selected. I went down and manually counted the selections in each meal. To me it looks as if I have enough but still the box is gray. Is there an easier way to do this? |
