[twonurses2]

I am making my own meal plan and working with meal planner. I am allowed 3 proteins I choose 2 vegan franks value of 2 and 1 oz of brick cheese value of 1 protein for a total of 3 proteins. The calculator says it is work 3.6 why the difference?

Hi, twonurses2. If you have a serving of vegetables somewhere, the extra protein may be coming from that. Note that some foods have small amounts of protein that are still counted.

Thanks for the support. When I am planning my meals the is very limited vegetables to choose from. How can I add 2 servings of green beans or just 2 servings of vegatbles.

Hi, twonurses2. Green beans are definitely among the non-starchy vegetables you can use for the “Vegetables of Your Choice” category. What vegetables do you like that you are not seeing?

[twonurses2]

Broccoli,cauliflower,asparagus,Brussels, spinach, green beans. Artichoke

Hi, twonurses2. Most of those are in the list, no worries. Artichoke is considered to be a starchy vegetable, so it is among the “carbohydrate” options.
