    Does this diet allow protein shakes and if so, what requirements should I follow? i.e. under a certain number of calories or sugar or carbs?

    Thanks!

    Hi, afeeney154. We encourage whole food items, so if the protein shake is based on those (either produce and milks, for example, or a product such as Garden of Life Raw Meal), that’s fine. You can compare the contents to the exchanges allotted to you in your menu – you can see the latter by clicking on “Exchange mode” in the toolbar above your menu. The exchanges are roughly equal to the following nutritional values:
    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
