    What is the ideal ratio to shoot for?

    Hi, Karen. In this program, our meal patterns are based on 1 gram of protein to 3 grams of carbohydrates to 1 gram of fat.

    Ossie; when you say 3 gms of carb do we include veggies other than free in there, as well as fruits, or do we keep those separate. I know starchy veggies are counted as carbs.

    Hi, margr. The carbohydrate grams refer to those from any source – grains, baked goods, vegetables, fruits, etc..

    Is the ratio the same for snacks?

    Hi, StephieB. Ideally, yes, though I was referring to the entire day.

    Hi, Deborah. Yes, but it’s not necessary – the hope is to keep things simple.
