How do you feel about meal replacements? I have been on the herbalife but have seen so little results, also what are home fries. Can we have regular potatoes?

Thank you. That is the part i don’t understand how to do….figure out what to substitute for something else. I know how to do that on the menu…but not when I want to supplement something NOT on the menu. The other question I have …is there a way…when menu planning, to have both vegetarian AND non-vegetarian choices? I created two menus, and when I am in my non-vegetarian menu and click to change an item, it is only giving me my vegetarian choices. Not sure why? Do I need to select my own choices instead of creating the ready made menu? I like to mix it up. I LOVE the vegetarian stuff…but need to eat some meats and fish too.

Hi, gnfireflygrl. Good find!
First, click on the “Exchange view” button above your finished menu to see your allotted exchanges.
Second, figure out the exchanges in each patty (label here http://theorganicrabbit.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/vegnutrition.jpg) according to the following:
Carb = 15 g carbohydrates + up to 3 g protein
Protein = 7 g protein + up to 5 g fat
Fat = 5 g fat
Fruit = 15 g carbohydrates
Vegetable = 5 g carbohydrates + up to 2 g protein
Free = up to 6 g carbohydrates or up to 3 g protein or up to 2 g fat
As you can see, each patty could be 1-1/2 carbs + 1 fat, or taking into account the ingredients (http://theorganicrabbit.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/vegingredients.jpg), you can also do 1 carb + 1 veg + 1 fat. Whatever works best for you.

Costco has new quinoa sweet potato kale organic veggie burgers. Yum! How do I determine how much I can eat for dinner or lunch and what’s best to eat with it?

Hi, Judith. Buffalo mozzarella absolutely is in the food lists! It is considered to be one of the healthiest dairy products out there, and kudos for liking it 🙂 In the “Protein” section, click on “Dairy,” and it will appear.

Thanks ossie sharon.
the six star product is a liquid. I will check the two products you recommended.
Have not been able to find buffalo mozzarella anywhere. Is there a substitute for it? Judith1942

Ozzie Sharon….not nutrition related but can someone please get back to me. I’ve sent heaps of email requests to help me out. I can’t see the meal six ever due to advertising. Can you please take action and forward this to someone who will give me a reply. It is very frustrating guessing all the time. I would like to get whT I paid for. Cheers.

2) 1/2 banana + 1 tbsp peanut butter
3) 5oz glass red wine + 1 oz cheddar cheese

Hi, SNC1, and welcome. I would be happy to help. If you could list exactly what you eat and drink during the day (including ingredients, portion sizes, and any seasonings/sweeteners), as well as your physical activity level and any health conditions and medications, I can run some calculations and make recommendations.

Hi
I just joined… instead of the Meal Planner, I’m wondering if someone can help me with what I’m doing… I have a protein/fruit shake for breakfast, soup at lunch, and snacks between all meals… so it’s really just dinners I need help with… given what I’m having for breakfast and lunch, can we figure out dinners? (I can’t eat dairy or seafood)

Congratulations, Judith! With regard to that particular product, we would recommend something with more natural ingredients, such as CostCo’s Orgain or Garden of Life Raw. However, if the Six Star Pro is something you really like, note that each scoop (1-1/2 oz) mixed in 4 oz water would be roughly the same as 3 oz of lean meat.

judith1942 10 years ago

I have lost 11 pounds
can I add 4 ounces of six star pro nutrition protein drink in place of a meat or fish serving
4 oz would have about 4 gr protein and 2 gr fat and 2 gr carb it has 0 trans fat and a bunch of vitamins
it tastes like french vanilla ice cream judith1942
