Balance of protein, carbs and calories
 | Hi, dlenrich. The program will make the meal patterns available in the future so they can be used as a guide. To answer your immediate question, the snacks are generally designed to combine a carbohydrate with either a fat or protein to slow the blood sugar response and better sustain the feeling of fullness. |
 | I am 62 5″5″ tall 300LBs I would like to know my ratio of carbs, protein, and fat to help me make up my own meals. |
 | I posted the following question a couple days ago under the topic “General Principle” and got no replies: “Is the general idea to always combine a protein (like meat, legums or nuts), a simple carb (like a grain), and a complex carb (like fruits and veggies), and a fat (like butter or Olive Oil) in every mini-meal? If so, how does dairy fit in? But if not, is there a general combination rule to go by?” But I think your topic is running in the same “vein” as mine. I would like my menu planner to be more informative of the actual principle of the combinations so that it truly CAN become a lifestyle, rather than an umbilical cord that I rely on from minute to minute. I want it to be teaching me to comprehensively change my thought process about food and “fuel”! |
 | I am assuming that since I have entered my personal information about height and weight that when I put in my menu selections the program is giving me the menu based on that information, as far as calories, right? It does seem like a lot of food, but I’ve only been on it a couple of days and am down almost 2 pounds. |
| | Hi, mmwiese. The following is a recommended pattern for you, based on the information you provided: |
| | Hi, Doryss. When you click on “Recipes” above in the horizontal menu bar and enter the Recipes area, click on the submit button in the right upperhand area, then enter your recipe. |
 | I know this question has been addressed before, but I can’t find it now…how do we submit a recipe for evaluation? Thanks so much for your help 😉 |
 | Ossie, I would really appreciate it if you could also give me the “basic pattern” for the different meals and snacks,like you did for “Gramsdiet”. I am 45 yrs old,female, 1.68m tall, 85kgs.I want to loose at least 20kgs.I exercise 2-3 times a week for about 45 minutes to an hour. Your assistance is appreciated. |
 | Thank You for all the help… I feel much better about this plan~ |
| | Hi, GramsDiet. The basic pattern for you to START would be as follows (you can use the Menu Planner for examples of foods): |
| | Hi, Bellina. The most reliable source of nutritional information is the USDA database at http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/search/list. |
| | Thank You Ossie, Female 57 5’3 262 I would like to lose at least 100 – 125# |
| | Hi, GramsDiet. I don’t have an ETA on it, but if you want to list your gender, age, height, weight, weight goal (maintenance or loss),and activity level, I can give you a pattern here. |
| | Ossie, When is a more detailed plan(regarding- Protein, Carb & Fats) coming, I do not like the menu option. The most important thing in changing an eating life style is to know how to do it yourself & not have to rely on a generated menu. Unfortunately, I am very unhappy with this program & am planning on canceling, I would hang around if I knew a more workable plan is in the very near future. I think I only have 6 weeks to cancel for a refund, right? |
