Hi, Robin. I’m glad to read that things are going well for you here. You absolutely can have smoothies instead. Please do take advantage of our recipes here – they can be substituted for any snack.

I have a question. I love this way of eating and as i am new I am having a great deal of trouble getting my snacks in. Are there any kind of smoothies I can make for my snacks. I think if I can drink at least the morning one I will do better at this. I don’t have any issues with ALL of the food I can eat. I just don’t get many breaks at work to stop and eat my snacks. Any ideas????

Hi, Finnie. Any other non-starchy fruit that suits you is fine – berries, plums, figs, kiwifruit, etc.

Hi, Anita. You can compare the exchanges at the end of each recipe (before the comments section) to the ones allotted to you for your menu. You can view the latter by clicking on “Exchange mode” in the toolbar above any of your menus. The match doesn’t have to be perfect – you can trade carbohydrate exchanges for protein.

Hi, qakristen. The amount of raw spinach that goes into the same volume of cooked spinach far exceeds what anyone would eat in a sitting.

Newbie here. Day 1. Why is raw spinach “free” but spinach is on the portion list? an I truly add all the “free” vegetables I want throughout the day?

Hi, Robin, and welcome! You can see the exchanges you are allotted by clicking on “Exchange mode” in the toolbar above your menu. They correspond to the list of exchanges are here: https://www.trimdownclub.com/exchanges-lists.

I am new and I have a question about the food exchanges?
What should they be for the main meals so when I’m out of the office and can’t follow a recipe I eat the correct amount of foods. I see in other posts there are exchange values but don’t know what we are supposed to follow.
I am super excited to start this new year with you all.

Hi, Carcy, and welcome! The grocery list link is in the toolbar above any of your menus. I’m attaching the one for your most recent menu here: http://menugenerator.trimdownclub.com/GroceryList.aspx?user_id=706392&menu_id=2&feeling_lucky=0&diet_path_id=11&country=us&measurement_weight=0&TB_iframe=true&height=650&width=725&inlineId=myOnPageContent.

Hi, GemStar. It’s great that you’re in tune with your satiety signals! Don’t fight them 🙂 You can skip snacks if you wish, but just be sure that by the end of the day, you’ve had a total of 5 servings of fruits/vegetables and 3 servings of calcium-rich foods/beverages, and that you’re not so hungry that you want to binge right before bed (or in the middle of the night).
