Eating 6 times a day with way more than I’ve ever eaten at one time.Hi, Tobiann and 33nanny. We don’t really work with calories here, but you they can be figured out by using the conversion information below for the exchanges you are allotted (visible when you click on the “Exchange View” button above your menu.
1 carbohydrate exchange = 15 grams of carbohydrates + up to 3 grams of protein (80 calories)
1 protein exchange = 7 grams of protein + up to 5 grams of fat (75 calories)
1 fat exchange = 5 grams of fat (45 calories)
1 fruit exchange = 15 grams of carbohydrates (60 calories)
1 vegetable exchange = 5 grams of carbohydrates + up to 2 grams of protein (25-40 calories)
1 sweet exchange = up to 15 grams of carbohydrates + up to 5 grams of fat (125 calories)
1 free exchange = up to 5 grams of carbohydrates or up to 2 grams of protein or fat (25 calories)When I did the calculations, it came up 1900-2000 for Tobiann and 2000-2100 for 33nanny.
