I would like to know if there is someplace where I can see the carb, fiber, sodium and calorie count on each meal and snack
Hi, baholman. We don’t work with calories in this program, but rather with meeting your nutritional needs through the same exchange system used by dietetic and diabetes organizations. You can see your exchanges by clicking on “Exchange mode” in the toolbar above your finished menu. The values are as follows:
1 carb 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 fatCarbohydrate foods in the lighter blue shades generally have about 2-5 grams of fiber per exchange, and less than 200 mg of sodium per serving.
