But just a wheat wrap? Nothing in it? Boring.

Hi, Brennalemon. I forwarded your query to tech support. They are currently working on an upgrade.
In the meantime, swap out the wrap using the circular icon next to the item. If you don’t see something you like there, you can swap it out for a piece of fruit.

I baked Cream Cheese Cocoa Fudge Cake from the recipe book. Is there a way I can input this item into my meal planner?

I do not know how small to cut the fudge cake and I am not sure of the proper exchanges and how to fit them into my diet.

I would like some information about how the menu goes through the day nutrition-wise? I’m trying to get a sense of whether it is better for the body to have most of the carbs earlier in the day & proteins later or is it a goal to keep a constant level of carb/protein combo within each meal? When I’m not at the menu planner, I’m trying to 2nd guess what I am aiming for at each meal or snack.

I also want to know more how an avocado & coconut MILK be incorporated into the menu planner. I understand that coconut water is great for electrolytes but coconut milk has all kinds of benefits.

Avocado is one of the natural foods my kid loves & I don’t see it on the list of vegetables & “free” vegetables.

I would appreciate some help & advice.

Thank you! I work well when I understand a pattern-

Hi, ACornuelle, and welcome. Absolutely! Click on “Generate Grocery List” to the right of your menu, and your shopping list will come up.

I’m back! I just took a 2 week vacation to see my kids and siblings. Had a wonderful time, but ate very poorly, not that it wasn’t good. My family just does not eat like I do, so I ended up putting on 6 pounds, but the first day I dropped 3, which tells me it was water retention. And I’ve taken another 2 off since I’ve been home. I still need to lose another pound though, and that pound always jumps up and down. I sure hope I can break this cycle and start losing again. I really haven’t lost anything for 2 or 3 months now. But I’m finding that the cloths I buy are too big for me cause I’m use to buying bigger sizes. When I get home I realize they are too big, so today I need to return a few jackets that I bought in Park City last week. That’s good news I guess.
I’m proud to say that I have one of the flattest stomach’s and have lost my love handles and the midriff is also trimming down, but I still have to work on that.
I’m glad to be back home where I have more control of my eating. All of my family members are very good cooks, but they don’t fix much of the things that this plan recommends. I wish you all success, the program really works when you stick to it. I’m out of the habit of cooking though, and it seemed to take me all day to make a few things for this plan. I make a full recipe though and freeze it so I don’t have to make up the recipes so often.
Till next time! Ciao!

Hi everyone. Totally new to this and trying to get my English head around American terms! What measurement is a cup?
