Carb count

[Bubbaroo2]

I need to know carb count for meals (it shows in recipe, but not a selection without recipe. Say for instance, how many carbs in an apple or orange? Also need daily carb count. Is this info available on this diet?

Hi, Bubbaroo2. To see that information, click on the “Exchange View” button above your menu. The exchanges translate to the following approximate nutritional values (including carbohydrates):
1 carbohydrate exchange = 15 grams of carbohydrates + up to 3 grams of protein
1 protein exchange = 7 grams of protein + up to 5 grams of fat
1 fat exchange = 5 grams of fat
1 fruit exchange = 15 grams of carbohydrates
1 vegetable exchange = 5 grams of carbohydrates + up to 2 grams of protein
1 sweet exchange = up to 15 grams of carbohydrates + up to 5 grams of fat
1 free exchange = up to 5 grams of carbohydrates or up to 2 grams of protein or fat
