So if I’m wanting to loose weight I want to lean more toward my “goal weight” pattern?

Hi, jyky1984. The following is the pattern for your current weight:
Breakfast: 2 Starches, 3 Proteins, 2 Fats, 1 Frut
Morning Snack: 1 Starch, 1 Protein, 1 Fat, 1 Fruit, 1 Vegetable
Lunch: 2 Starches, 3 Proteins, 2 Fats, 1 Vegetable
Afternoon Snack: 1 Starch, 1 Protein, and 1 Fat or Fruit or Sweet
Dinner: 2 Starches, 4 Proteins, 1 Fat, 1 Vegetable

You may wish to find a middle ground between the two as another way to save money on groceries.
Evening Snack: 1 Protein, 1 Fat, 1 Vegetable, and 1 Starch or Fruit or Sweet

And for your goal weight:
Breakfast: 2 Starches, 1 Protein, 1 Fat, 1 Fruit
Morning Snack: 1 Starch, 1 Protein, 1 Fruit
Lunch: 2 Starches, 3 Proteins, 1 Fat, 1 Vegetable
Afternoon Snack: 1 Starch, 1 Protein, Fruit or Sweet
Dinner: 2 Starches, 3 Proteins, 1 Fat, 1 Vegetable
Evening Snack: 1 Protein, 1 Starch or Fruit or Sweet

Hi, jyky1984. Sorry to read about your troubles – I wish you well. Don’t worry about the expensive foods. Just try to eat whole, unprocessed items (some of these, such as dried beans and peas that you can buy in bulk, can actually be less expensive) – these are in the menu planner. You will benefit from that, as well as the portion sizes, timing, and food group combining of the program.
If you still want your pattern, you can click on “View Menu Exchanges” to the write of your menu and plug in the exchanges in this list . If you want you pattern posted here, just list your gender, height, weight, and weight goal (loss or maintenance).

I’ve been trying out the program for about 3 weeks and since then due to some unforseen events our income has decreased. The meal plans, as they are generated, have become unsustainable. Is there a specific pattern of foods for each meal? If there is something like that I can subsitute what is cheaper or what is on sale locally IF i know what type of sood I’m suppose to be eating. HELP PLEASE!!!
