I would really like to understand this too. Does it mean that if you eat 15 grams of carbs then you need to eat 3 grams of protein and so on?

Still really confused. What are we striving for on our menus?

Hi, SavedbyFaith18. Not exactly – they are an exchange system, as follows:
Carb = 15 grams of carbohydrates + up to 3 grams of protein
Protein = 7 grams of protein + up to 5 grams of fat
Fat = 5 grams of fat
Vegetable = 5 grams of carbohydrates + up to 2 grams of protein
Fruit = 15 grams of carbohydrates
Sweet = up to 15 grams of carbohydrates + up to 5 grams of fat
Our list of foods is here: https://www.trimdownclub.com/exchanges-lists.

I need to understand the exchanges used. Is it equal amounts o proteins and carbs for a balanced diet? Doesn’t seem to be. How does this work?
