Is it ok to trade butternut squash for eggplant?

[Luligirl]

I was wondering this as well. If I don’t oatmeal for example can I use something else from the menu in exchange? Also, is the combo of specific foods the key, or can I mix up that combo during the day??

If you go to your menu, and click on the food you want to substitute, a list of foods that you can use to substitute will come up in a window for you to choose.

Thanks! I asked too soon, the more I look around the site the more I find answers!

I love sushi and miso soup. Can I still enjoy my Japanese foods?

If you go to the “Groups” and join the one called Successful Beginnings, you will find all kinds of great info. I have pasted one here for you. I printed it out, and it’s very helpful! Milo soup is on there!! I am not a sushi lover, so I have no idea about that one. Here’s the Exchange List: http://www.trimdownclub.com/exchanges-lists/ This is an invaluable list. I printed mine out and keep it by my chair. It is the exchange li sts/subsitutions list …whatever you want to call it!!

Hi, cb2529. Butternut squash has about three times the carbohydrates, so you can trade it, but keep the quantities lower or have it instead of starchy carbohydrates at that meal.

Hi, DrSuzRN. Absolutely! Miso and the ingredients to make sushi are in the Menu Planner menu-building food lists, with the exception of seaweed and wasabi, because they are free foods.
