 Ossie-Sharon 8 years ago | Hi, Alishia. Every type is a bit different. Be sure to check out the label to see how many grams of carbohydrate are in a cup – each 15 grams is a “carb” exchange. To see how many you are allotted for each meal, click on “Exchange mode” in the toolbar above any of your current menus. Each exchange equals the following:
1 carb exchange = 15 grams of carbohydrates + up to 3 grams of protein
1 protein exchange = 7 grams of protein + up to 5 grams of fat
1 fat exchange = 5 grams of fat
1 fruit exchange = 15 grams of carbohydrates
1 vegetable exchange = 5 grams of carbohydrates + up to 2 grams of protein
1 sweet exchange = up to 15 grams of carbohydrates + up to 5 grams of fat
1 free exchange = up to 5 grams of carbohydrates or up to 2 grams of protein or fat With the cereal, you can have a cup of milk (we recommend full cream), which will add 1 carb + 1 protein. |
 alishia 8 years ago | can I have one cub of wholemeal or multigrain low sugar cereal from woolworths every day for breakfast? if so what do I have with it ? |
| Ossie-Sharon 8 years ago | Hi, Tracy. I see that “Oatmeal, Cooked” is one of the items selected for you in your Menu Planner food lists, which is essentially steel-cut oats. When you click on any starchy breakfast item in your menu (such as English muffin on Sunday), you will get a list of alternatives that includes oatmeal. |
 TracyYL 8 years ago | I am new at this so hope that I am asking my question in the right location. I love steel cut oats cereal but it has never shown up on my menu and don’t know what I should eat with it or how much. Any suggestions? |
| Ossie-Sharon 8 years ago | Hi, Kymbo. Absolutely! You can trade the yogurt for liquid milk. |
 Kymbo 8 years ago | I am new at this and I am wondering if I am allowed to have milk with my cooked cereal????
when I go through the menu planner it doesn’t give me the option to have milk. |
