MemberHi!—I have 3 Questions: I choose Monday as my 1st day of the week, But Friday is the best day for me to plan the Menu for the following week and do grocery. The “Follow 8 Week Plan” doesn’t let me prepare the menu before Saturday. Any solution? The second Question, how do I swap the days or swap meals on my menu? Is there any way I can change the serving size into number of pieces, tablespoon or cup instead of oz.?

MemberHi, parulrdave. I suggest to make plans with whatever week you do have – you can use menus away behind, for example, so that you have the shopping list ready whenever works for you.
With regard to swapping, you can do it however you want – it doesn’t need to be formal.
To see what portions are associated with ounces, try this list here: http://www.trimdownclub.com/exchanges-lists. If you don’t find what you’re seeking, please do repost here, and I will help.September 12, 2015 at 10:44 pm #31533preed0015
MemberHi,when I have been doing my weekly menu, I have had to list my favourite foods again which is very time consuming, I thought they were saved automatically. Can you tell me how to fix this please?

KeymasterHi preed0015,
Thanks for posting.
Please note, when you switch menu planning options, the Menu Planner overrides your previous food selections. Your menus will stay saved in your ‘My Menus’ area.

MemberWhat is the best way to incorporate recipes? For instance, I find a recipe I like for breakfast, but it isn’t always the exact number of carbs, proteins, etc as what is on my menu for that day. Also, if I use more than what is typically allowed, does it automatically make adjustments to the rest of the day?

MemberHi, RosannaBarr. It can be approximate, too – you can also trade exchanges. For example, a protein for a carb, or 2 fats for a protein or carb, etc. If you’re a diabetic, try to avoid having more carbs than are called for, though once in a while it’s fine.
Regarding your question about using more than is typically allowed, are your referring to the meal swap function (wherein you get red numbers if you go over), or to something else? - AuthorPosts
