    Hello Trimdown,
    I’ve just started my diet, but have noticed there are no potatoes on my menu?!! Is it OK to substitute pasta or rice for potato, sometimes??

    Did you click potatoes as one of your favorites? I get them all the time.

    Yes I did, that’s what I can’t make out. They do crop up on Thursday actually, but Monday, Tues, Wednesday they don’t, maybe it’s because it’s higher starch, I’m a bit confused??
    Be glad to hear from you again!

    Hi, Lindy. Did you select the “Diabetic” Menu Planner route? If so, that may explain it, because potatoes have a lower health rating for diabetics, and so the computer may limit your amounts. If you wish, just ignore their absence, and swap them in for another starch as Debbie suggested (thanks!).
