    How many grams in one carb, and in one protein and one fat. I’m trying to convert some favorite recipes so I can use them in my trim down menu planning.

    Hi, Joycemerry. The following are the general nutritional values of the exchanges:
    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
