    What is the correct ratio between protein and complex carbs for each meal? Knowing that would make menu planning easier for me. Even though (or maybe because) I selected a wide range of choices for each meal/snack, some of my meal plan combinations are rather strange and off-putting. Knowing the right balance of protein and carbs would give me the flexibility to make more compatible combinations. Alternatively, can I choose foods for each meal individually with some guidance as to the right balance between protein and carbs, etc.?

    Hi, Kathleen. This program applies approximately 1 gram of protein to each 3 grams of carbohydrates and 1 gram of fat. Meal planning on your own using the Menu Planner framework is absolutely fine. Note also that you can add “free” vegetables whenever you like.
