cb2529MemberIs it ok to trade butternut squash for eggplant?

LuligirlMemberI was wondering this as well. If I don’t oatmeal for example can I use something else from the menu in exchange? Also, is the combo of specific foods the key, or can I mix up that combo during the day??

ilovecollies1691MemberIf you go to your menu, and click on the food you want to substitute, a list of foods that you can use to substitute will come up in a window for you to choose.

ilovecollies1691MemberIf you go to the “Groups” and join the one called Successful Beginnings, you will find all kinds of great info. I have pasted one here for you. I printed it out, and it’s very helpful! Milo soup is on there!! I am not a sushi lover, so I have no idea about that one. Here’s the Exchange List: http://www.trimdownclub.com/exchanges-lists/ This is an invaluable list. I printed mine out and keep it by my chair. It is the exchange li sts/subsitutions list …whatever you want to call it!!

Ossie-SharonMemberHi, cb2529. Butternut squash has about three times the carbohydrates, so you can trade it, but keep the quantities lower or have it instead of starchy carbohydrates at that meal.

Ossie-SharonMemberHi, DrSuzRN. Absolutely! Miso and the ingredients to make sushi are in the Menu Planner menu-building food lists, with the exception of seaweed and wasabi, because they are free foods.
