Thanks. Looking at things in exchange mode helps. What remains missing is an indication of the goal for each meal / snack.

Would you be willing to indicate the optimal range of values for each category?

Hi, Snippers. It just meant that you were over the limit for that particular meal – just ignore it if you had moved it from a previous meal.

Thank You. That helps although not very flexible. Be sure to go thru and click on all of the foods you like (all meals)or they won’t show up in the search.

Question: I skipped fruit at breakfast and added fruit to my salad at lunch.Why did it say that I was over the limit for fruit?

Hi, you two. Click on “Exchange mode” in the toolbar above your finished menu, and you will see your personal pattern. You can also build your menu one meal at a time by clicking on the arrow at the upper right corner of each meal – you will be directed to a mini-application.
By the way – don’t forget the “-lists” at the end of the link to the exchange lists (as in, https://www.trimdownclub.com/exchanges-lists).
If you have any further questions, please do repost.

Hi, you took the words right out of my mouth! My husband started this plan Monday and I have tried to follow the plan, when we had the appropriate foods. But occasionally I need to exchange and don’t find many options. Just when I think I’ve figured it out, they throw me a curve.
I’m wondering if there is something to do with the particular combo of things, both per meal/snack and per day/work?

I am new to the program and have spent a great deal of time exploring the site, the menu planner, forums and other tools offered here. I am the type of person who enjoys planning my own menus and would like to know if there is a tool designed to allow me to do this? I have seen that there is a great deal of information published here: https://www.trimdownclub.com/exchanges, but have not seen a formula that breaks out the goals for daily consumption by meal category. I suppose I could figure it out but it would be much easier to simply ask. Thanks!
