 Ossie-Sharon 12 years ago | Hi, brand0at, and welcome! The menus appear after you click “Finish” at the end of the “Snacks” tab of the Menu Planner. If the button doesn’t work, it means you haven’t yet selected the minimum number of choices in one or more of the meals.
As for switching meals across days – absolutely! A lot of people do that. Flexibility is an important key to success 🙂 |
| Ossie-Sharon 12 years ago | Hi, Gayle52, and welcome! Sandwiches in the morning are great – especially if it means getting a good source of protein, and of course, a lot depends on using good,nutritious bread. If you find that the morning protein choices don’t allow for what you want, just choose whatever, and swap in your sandwich filling: 1 egg = 1 oz meat or substitute = 1 oz hard cheese = 1/4 cup white cheese.
As for wine, we do want you to enjoy life, and if consumed in moderation, wine can definitely be a part of that (especially dry red wine, as the stereotype goes) – I don’t know how much you’re drinking now, but if you can limit your intake to 3-4 fl oz each day then maybe cut back to every other day, etc., this may help. |
 brand0at 12 years ago | Hello, I am a newbie and have been looking at my menu for the week. Still not sure how this works. LOL. My question lets say I find a recipe (in the recipe section) for lunch that I like better than what is listed in my weekly menu. Can I just substitute it? How does this work? Thanks! |
 Gayle52 12 years ago | I am a newbie also as of today and have the same questions. I don’t really like to eat cereals every morning and prefer something with protien. I enjoy sandwiches sometimes in the morning! I have to bring my food to work for lunch and snacks so need something portable(have a frig at work)I usually eat very well health wise and my husband does most of the cooking. I like my wine so this will be a challenge!Any help? |
| Ossie-Sharon 12 years ago | Hi, Newval. Most users swap out foods from day to day according to their liking. If the food is in the same food group/category it is absolutely fine.
As for eggs – how many to have each week depends on the type of egg you eat and on your medical history. For example, omega-3 or grass-fed eggs are fine to have each day, but regular eggs can be a problem if you have a history of cardiovascular disease or risk factors, or a personal or family history of diabetes.
In the future, we will be providing patterns and exchange lists with which Club members can build their own menus. |
