Balance of protein, carbs and calories

[darbyshire]

Ossie,

Really excited to see what the tech developement team comes up with. I also have another question. When looking through the recipes I find quite a few I would like to try. How do I get them in my weekly menu? Only a few recipes seem to come up for a choice?

[Ossie-Sharon]

I will forward your request to include more recipes in the Menu Planner.

I am new to this, and I have no clue how to find the food menu after I have chosen the foods I like. Can someone help me with that. I did not see a phone number to call to get assistance.

In the near future, we will post the menu patterns so that along with the online guides (in “My Downloads” above), you can plan your days. However, before that it is best if you use the Menu Planner examples to see what sorts of foods are recommended to optimize your metabolism. You can of course use foods you like, but since so many out there are just not good for us, it is recommended that you explore options that might be a little better (again, use only the ones you find that you like).
Note that many of the options in the Menu Planner are broadly described – i.e. “cookie” or “cake”, and so therefore you can use whatever you want for that, including “sugar-free”. We do recommend natural options, and for you to look carefully at the ingredients to avoid too many undesirable additives.

Hi Violet, look up to the row of links at the top of the page (Home Apps Recipes etc.) and click on Apps In there you will find your links to Menu Planner, Journal and the last one on mine is Menu history. All your menus will be in there.

Ossie, When is a more detailed plan(regarding- Protein, Carb & Fats) coming, I do not like the menu option. The most important thing in changing an eating life style is to know how to do it yourself & not have to rely on a generated menu. Unfortunately, I am very unhappy with this program & am planning on canceling, I would hang around if I knew a more workable plan is in the very near future. I think I only have 6 weeks to cancel for a refund, right?
(btw- I have posted & even sent a message on ‘contact us’ with no response.
so please reply

Hi, GramsDiet. I don’t have an ETA on it, but if you want to list your gender, age, height, weight, weight goal (maintenance or loss),and activity level, I can give you a pattern here.

Thank You Ossie, Female 57 5’3 262 I would like to lose at least 100 – 125#
this would help tremendously!

Hi, Bellina. The most reliable source of nutritional information is the USDA database at http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/search/list.
Your needs each day depend on a number of individual factors, including gender, age, height, weight, weight goals, and activity level, as well as past dieting history. If you wish to post this information, I can do some calculations. Keep in mind that this program does not deal with calories, but rather your overall nutrient needs.

Hi, GramsDiet. The basic pattern for you to START would be as follows (you can use the Menu Planner for examples of foods):
Breakfast: 2 starches, 3 dairy/substitute proteins, 2 fats, 1 fruit
AM Snack: 1 starch, 2 dairy/substitute proteins, 1 fruit
Lunch: 2 starches, 3 proteins, 1 fat, 1 fruit, 1 vegetable
PM Snack: 1 starch, 2 proteins, 1 fat, 1 fruit, 1 vegetable
Dinner: 2 starches, 3 proteins, 1 fat, 1 vegetable, 1 fruit or sweet
Night Snack: 1 starch, 1 dairy/substitute protein, 1-2 sweets, 1 vegetable
As your weight goes down, you’ll want to gradually reduce these meals to your ultimate goal of the following:
Breakfast: 2 starches, 2 dairy/substitute proteins, 1-2 fats, 1 fruit
AM Snack: 1 starch, 2 dairy/substitute proteins, 1 fruit
Lunch: 2 starches, 3 proteins, 1 fat, 1-2 vegetables
PM Snack: 1 starch, 2 proteins, 1 vegetable
Dinner: 2 starches, 2 proteins, 1 fat, 1 vegetable, 1 sweet
Night Snack: 1 starch, 1 dairy/substitute protein, 1 sweet or fruit

Ossie, I would really appreciate it if you could also give me the “basic pattern” for the different meals and snacks,like you did for “Gramsdiet”. I am 45 yrs old,female, 1.68m tall, 85kgs.I want to loose at least 20kgs.I exercise 2-3 times a week for about 45 minutes to an hour. Your assistance is appreciated.

[Doryssb]

I know this question has been addressed before, but I can’t find it now…how do we submit a recipe for evaluation?

Thanks so much for your help 😉

[Ossie-Sharon]

Hi, Doryss. When you click on “Recipes” above in the horizontal menu bar and enter the Recipes area, click on the submit button in the right upperhand area, then enter your recipe.
