I have a few problems with the menu, firstly, why do you measure amounts in cups? Secondly what are digestive biscuits? Why isn’t there easy things like sandwiches or a simple meal of meat and two or three veg. We are pensioners and trying to use the recipies when they serve 8 or 12 people is ridiculous especially if it can’t be frozen.
Hi, Rita. It doesn’t have to be in cups – if you select the metric system in your profile and the toolbar above your finished menu, you will see gram an milliliters. Digestive biscuits are anything like these: http://www.mcvities.co.uk/products/digestives.
As for the rest, you absolutely can eat those simpler items. I suggest you use the full Menu Planner application (in “Apps” above) so that you can choose the foods you want (including items with which to make sandwiches and simple meals). You can make any of the recipes for fewer people by clicking on “Fewer Servings” in the Comments section, or using this guide: http://www.trimdownclub.com/reducing-the-size-of-recipes/.Sorry about the rant, just struggling with the menu as its early days using it. I didn’t think normal digestive biscuits would be used!!
my question is if you get a cup of vegetables is it a measuring cup or actually 8 oz because 8 oz will not fit in a measuring cup
Hi, Rita. Your reaction is actually really, really normal and common. Things like digestive biscuits are just there to make the transition easier, so that not everything people are used to suddenly vanish all at once. No worries!
