Calories

Will we be able to see calorie allotment for our diet? I am 4’10” and 121 pounds and I’m hoping for 1200

hi, Pjcallie. What you can see are the dietary exchanges allotted to you based on your measurements and activity level, and which can be translated to nutritional values. To see your exchanges, click on “Exchange View” above your menu. The following are the approximate values:
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)
You are currently allotted about 1800 calories per day. To reduce this, you can switch to our intermittent fasting route (though you don’t have to fast if you don’t want). To access this, select the meal you want to skip in your profile, save the change, then generate a new menu. I recommend to choose to skip dinner, then use your new lunch as dinner and the snack between breakfast and lunch as your lunch – this way, you have a normal menu that is right-sized for you.
