As a type 2 diabetic i like to keep track of the nutritional values of the foods i eat. I have just tried out the menu planner and cannot find any ntritional numbers anywhere. Am I missing them or are they jst not there?
Hi, bfg82. If you click on “Exchange mode” in the toolbar above your menu, you will see the exchanges listed per meal and total per day. The exchanges are essentially the same as those used by diabetes associations:
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 fat
