    • Hi, Val. According to the food group exchanges allotted to you, you can have two servings of this for lunch or one for a snack.

      You can fit recipes into your day by comparing the “Exchanges per Serving” at the end of each to those visible when you click on “Exchange mode” in the toolbar above any of your menus.
