    How many carbs and proteins can I have in a day?
    How do I know how many carbs are in each food item?

    Hi, aaaedge. Click on “Exchange mode” in the toolbar above your menu, and you will see your allotted exchanges. The nutritional value of each is as follows:
    1 carb exchange = 15 grams of carbohydrates + up to 3 grams of protein
    1 protein exchange = 7 grams of protein + up to 5 grams of fat
    1 fat exchange = 5 grams of fat
    1 fruit exchange = 15 grams of carbohydrates
    1 vegetable exchange = 5 grams of carbohydrates + up to 2 grams of protein
    1 sweet exchange = up to 15 grams of carbohydrates + up to 5 grams of fat
    1 free exchange = up to 5 grams of carbohydrates or up to 2 grams of protein or fat

    I sent you a link to food values in another post.
