Hi, 338512. The 21-day Express Meal Plans are generic, and so don’t take into account your profile. However, you have two additional options.
1. If you want something readymade, in the main program area of “My Downloads” you will find 14-day Express Meal Plans that are diet-specific. The vegan option is also low-sugar.
2. You can enter the Menu Planner application (in “Apps”), select the foods you want, and menus will be generated for you based on your profile and choices.

I went to the home tab and then all I saw was where there was a video with the menu but not where you could plan or substitute anything. Was I looking in the wrong place?

Thank you so much Maggie35. You don’t know how much I appreciate your help. I did join the group you suggested. Thanks for that also. There is just so much reading to absorb everything. Bless you. If you go there you can see my introduction. I didn’t know what I was supposed to say but I really need to get this to work for my health.

Hello I’m new to this and I’m trying to figure out where I can save certain recipes. This way I can search through my saved recipes for a meal, instead of going through 12 pages of recipes I don’t prefer. Thank you.

Hi, Just joined and I am a bit confused. So if it says tuna does that mean I have to eat plain tuna or can I make like a tuna spread? I also got game hen matched with salsa and salsa didn’t have a replacement or anything to eat it with, what do I do with that?
Thanks, Vicky

viclog, you can just about always substitute items. The important thing to remember is that you don’t want to substitute a good food choice for a bad food choice. There is a recipe for Tuna Salad and I’m sure that you can use that as a substitute for “Tuna”. Just mind the portions and that anything you substitute matches the TDC ingredience, i.e. don’t substitute a slice of SWG bread with an ordinary waffle. The TDC gives you many opportunities to chose alternate choices.

Hi, lunowa01 (and thanks, Apensa!). We never erase anything, so you can get back into your current plan whenever you want. If we can help you with whatever is making you want to take a break, we’re here!

Hi, henglish. Glad to read things are going well. Mustard is a “free” food, so you can eat it without planning for in your menu.
With regard to the home fries, it would be 4 oz of raw potato or 1/2 medium potato – but once cooked with oil, it would weigh between 2.5-3 oz, depending on how much oil you use.
