I was looking at breakfast recipes. How do I incorporate them into a meal plan

Hi, Mrs. Davis. Rotisserie chickens are certainly better than fried.

I rely on the rotisserie chickens at the store, for proportioning protein for the week. Rather than baking my own.
Do you give them a thumbs up or down?

Hi, Mrs. Davis. It’s great to read that you never eat white pasta! We actually encourage people to make the change to whole food pasta – any grain or legume is fine, as long is it is unrefined.
By the way, you can ensure that only foods you like appear in your menu by using the fully personal version of the Menu Planner – you can get to it by clicking on the “My Food Choices” (apple) icon in the toolbar above your menu.

I’m sorry, just one more before I go shopping.
Pasta? Are there a few safe ones to choose from?
White pasta showed-up on my menu and I never eat white pasta.

Hi, Mrs. Davis. Steel-cut oats are the very, very best type!

Thank you so much 😉
What is the best oatmeal to prepare/eat?
I am accustomed to steel cut oats

Hi, caryr. The link to “Successful Beginnings” group is here: https://www.trimdownclub.com/groups/talking-cooking-nanas/?tdc_uid=70725.

Hi, Mrs. Davis. We absolutely do answer these questions, usually within 24 hours – no worries 🙂
With regard to your questions:
1) “Poultry, Cold Cuts, Uncured” could be either slices of cooked fresh chicken, turkey, or game bird to fit a sandwich OR packaged chicken or turkey sandwich meats labeled “uncured,” meaning they don’t contain harmful artificial nitrites or nitrates.
2) Stevia is excellent, and silk (soy) creamer in my coffee is fine in small amounts – it is rather processed, but not the worst; if you can use regular soy milk – or if you need something creamier, coconut milk – that would be better.

Hi, Cindy. If you look in “My Guides” (link in the toolbar near the top of each site page), you will find the main Program Guide, Quick Start Guide, and other helpful materials.
With regard to the Menu Planner food lists, just clicking a food already means you want to see it in your menu, whereas also clicking on the corresponding heart means that you like it ESPECIALLY, and want it more often in your menu. Foods that you leave blank are those that you never want in your menus.

Hi, Kvayn. It depends on the ham. We don’t encourage overly processed foods (meats in particular), but if you find a ham that is “uncured,” that’s fine.

i am having the same problem, very discouraging. I can not even find a forum successful beginnings.

DOES ANYONE ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS?

Hi! I just signed up and am very excited to see results. During the day while my family is either at work or school, it will be very easy for me to stay on track and eat what is suggested on my menu plan. However, we strive to have dinner as a family, so I am wondering how I can incorporate the recipes from this site into my menu plan? I only want to cook one dinner for all of 4 of us.

I signed-up today, in looking over my first week’s menu and shopping list I have a couple beginner questions:
1) What do I buy for “Poultry, Cold Cuts, Uncured”?
2) I typically use stevia and silk (soy) creamer in my coffee. Is this OK? I have no idea what ‘processed soy’ is and/or how to tell.

Thank you kindly!
