 | Hi, mac45lynch. Thanks for the fantastic tips! |
| | Hi, Aaron. The items in your menu are intentionally generic so that you can do what you want with them. We encourage you to make healthy choices, of course – you can use our guides and recipes for ideas. |
| | Hi, girlsgrandma. First, don’t worry too much about using unfamiliar foods. As long as your selections are whole foods that have been minimally processed and are without artificial additives, you will be benefiting. Second, you might find our shopping guide helpful – https://www.trimdownclub.com/shopping-links-for-healthy-foods. |
 | Hi Ossie-Sharon, I’m new and want to confirm the meat measurements, is it cooked or raw? If raw that doesn’t work for me as I’m cooking large amounts at once for the week. Can you please help on the weight difference to assist my measurements? |
 | To add to my reply because it doesn’t appear to edit. The porridge oat recipe I use…i meant to say 2 tablespoons of honey with the yogurt on top. |
| | Hi im new to this programme too, aaronhdez asked about egg. I used my egg in pancakes and made savoury ones for dinner and then put sugar in the mix to make sweet ones for my husband.It is economical.My pancakes were chickpea and spinach. I found the recipe in a vegan dinner book.Also, girlsgrandma asked about oatmeal. I have this for breakfast most days and I make it with 2oz of oats, 1 cup of semi skimmed milk, two teaspoons of brown sugar.Then when cooked, while still hot in my bowl, I add 3 table spoons of low fat greek yogurt and two table spoons of brown sugar. Hygge at its best on cold mornings! I currently weigh nearly 90kg and its because of cake and sweets and my portions are too big. I now try two eat smaller portions of food and more frequently and also cut down the cake and sweet stuff. I don’t exercise at the moment so i am looking for something to do that suits me. Currently looking for a walking group to join.Jogging really not my thing. |
 | When My Menu Planner says “1 egg” what I do with it. Anything ? Some meal on my plan just say that name of the food, like canned tuna, but what do you do with it ? Thanks, |
 | What kind, specifically, sweetner can I use? I really like oatmeal and have it often, but it needs some kind of sweetening. Oatmeal for breakfast is great but does it have to have protein with it for this diet plan to work? |
| | I am having trouble getting started as I cannot find 85% of the foods on the food list. My gorcery manager has no idea what “sprouted whole grain” items are. All the meats and seafoods are too expensive (with the exception of the canned tuna. I can’t tolerate dairy, so I use almond milk, but it’s not allowed. I love most fruits and vegetable, but, again they are just too expensive this time of year. Any suggestions??? |
| | Hi, Dreyn, and welcome! We wish you success, and are happy to help however we can. |
 | Hi ?? I’m new to this kind of thing so not sure how all this work but just want to hi to all |
 | How do I create my food list – pick which ones will be chosen for the menus? |
 | Hello I am brand new and had a few questions, I am looking at the menu and noticing which foods to eat. Is there a good way to look up recipes that are associated with the foods supplied in each meal? I am struggling with figuring out what to make from the lists of foods in the menu. |
| | Hi, nella. Banana is a uniquely rich fruit, so it counts as either 1 fruit + 1 carbohydrate or 2 fruit exchanges. You can make the swap manually, if you wish. To see how many exchanges of each food group you are allotted per meal and day, click on the “Exchange mode” icon (the apple) in the toolbar above your menu. |
 | I cannot find banana on my menue planner when trying to change fruit option for a snack. Does that mean it is not recommended in my plan? |
