    I need to understand the exchanges used. Is it equal amounts o proteins and carbs for a balanced diet? Doesn’t seem to be. How does this work?

    Hi, SavedbyFaith18. Not exactly – they are an exchange system, as follows:
    Carb = 15 grams of carbohydrates + up to 3 grams of protein
    Protein = 7 grams of protein + up to 5 grams of fat
    Fat = 5 grams of fat
    Vegetable = 5 grams of carbohydrates + up to 2 grams of protein
    Fruit = 15 grams of carbohydrates
    Sweet = up to 15 grams of carbohydrates + up to 5 grams of fat
    Our list of foods is here: http://www.trimdownclub.com/exchanges-lists.

    Still really confused. What are we striving for on our menus?

    I would really like to understand this too. Does it mean that if you eat 15 grams of carbs then you need to eat 3 grams of protein and so on?
