 Ossie-Sharon 8 years ago | Hi, meme50. The menus here use exchanges, whereas the package refers to grams. The following are the nutritional values of all exchanges:
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 regard specifically to oatmeal, we are referring to steel-cut oats, which are the closest to whole grain. |
