Ossie-Sharon 11 years ago | Without knowing what you’re capable of eating in a whole day, I’m being conservative and saying one meal. But usually even a whole day of “free” eating won’t derail an entire diet. |
younismo 11 years ago | So I can only replace one of the meals on the “free day”, and not eat freely the entire day? Thank you |
Ossie-Sharon 11 years ago | For the free day, the “lunch” was just an example of a meal – you can choose any meal with which to “go crazy”. It is best to try not to overdo too much, even on a “free” day, as it simply is not healthy (even if you don’t gain weight). |
younismo 11 years ago | Hello. I have 2 questions: Thanks |
Ossie-Sharon 11 years ago | To what are you referring when you say “healthy 80 range”? |
esrs 11 years ago | Is there any way to determine if the meals I am eating are meeting the healthy 80 range that is recommended. I basically am using the meal planner, but when there is something I don’t like or feel like having, I subtitute a different meal that would have a similiar makeup. I just started the program a few days ago and find it really easy to follow other than the fact that I don’t know if I’m staying in the right range (or going too far under or too far over) |
Ossie-Sharon 11 years ago | Any type of whole grain pasta can be used instead of brown rice pasta – that includes quinoa as well as spelt. |
esrs 11 years ago | Can quinoa pasta be used in place of brown rice pasta? |
Ossie-Sharon 11 years ago | The Trim Down Club does not work with calories. It is most important that you get all the food groups you need in the right proportions for your size and weight/health goals. |
esrs 11 years ago | If I am creating my own meal plans based on the foods I’ve chosen how do I know if they fall within the 80 range? |
esrs 11 years ago | Is there any way on this site to determine how many calories I’ve eaten throughout the day if I log everything into the journal? |
hmarie 11 years ago | hey: need help in the way of process the sunflower into sprouts? |
Ossie-Sharon 11 years ago | Hi, Quigs. Yes, since the salsa is basically just vegetables, you absolutely can consider it a vegetable salad. |
quigs101 11 years ago | Hi, I am new to the program 1st day on my meal planner. I looked through the whole week and took bits and pieces from other days and kind of made a self menu from what was given. Is that okay? I also have a silly questions Trader joe’s all natural salsa has basically(i believe one or two different veggies) the same ingredents as the vegetable salad is this an exceptable substitute sometimes? I hade it for lunch today and could def. get used to that yummy:) |
Ossie-Sharon 11 years ago | Not only can portions be frozen, it is recommended! And not only for single people – for everyone!! This not only saves time and money, but if you only thaw/heat single portions, it also ensures you don’t overeat just because you cooked extra. |
