Can you tell me how much protein and carbs should be allowed for each meal? Also I have been reading about Leptin hormones and was wondering if you could tell me something about them and if this program will help in producing the hormone?
Hi, Dianne. You can see what is allotted to you each day by clicking on “Exchange mode” in the toolbar above your menu, and noting the following approximate values for exchanges:
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
As for bread crumbs vs. Panko, yes you can substitute, but just be sure that it is based on whole grains.Since pickles are free, I go for the dill pickle!! Or bring your own Skinnypop in your purse in a baggie!! 3 cups is one serving!!
since pickles are free… I’d go for a pickle(lots of sodium , though) Also you could try to sneak in some Skinnypop in a baggie in your purse. It’s 3 cups for 1 carb serving.

Hi I’m new and still finding my way round. I am trying to get the ingredients for the “brown butter bread” recipe but cannot get any flax meal. Is there anything that I can substitute it with?
Hello
i only joined at the weekend and started Monday on a fixed menu from the menu tab, decided this wont work for me as it feels like a military maneuver prepping all the meals. i work long hours and so time spent in the kitchen on a daily basis will be a struggle to sustain. i figure if i loose a day at the weekend cooking and freezing the the on line recipes i stand a better chance. but i would feel safer if i could input my menu choices on the website (dont know the tab to use to do this) to calculate the positive% of the menu choices and be able to have a shopping list automatically created on line …
Is it possible to do this?
Hi, annibury, and welcome! I suggest you use the personal version of the Menu Planner, which would better meet your needs. It’s the right-most option of the three Menu Planner types in the application area.
35g orridge oats. 200g Fat free yogurt, berries of your choice. Layer the oats fruit and yogurt, seal in a container. Pop in the fridge over night. In the morning give it a good stir and it’s ready to eat. Frozen berries work best.
Roulade
1 x Tub of Quark
4 x Eggs
5 x Table spoons Powdered Sweetener
1 x Tea spoon of Baking Powder
1 x Tea spoon of Vanilla Essence
Fruit of your choice
Baking tray
Baking Paper/Liner
Preheat the oven to 180′
Seperate the egg white from the yolks into 2 bowls.
Whisk the yolks with half a tub of quark, baking powder, vanilla essence and 4 tblsp sweetener.
In a seperate bowl, whisk the egg whites untill stiff.
Then whisk half the egg whites to the egg yolk mixture, then fold the rest in.
Pour into a lined baking tray bake in the oven for 15-20 mins at 180 degrees.
Leave to cool then spread the rest of the quark (mixed with the other tblsp of sweetener) over the sponge.
Scatter the fruit over the sponge and quark and roll up like swiss roll.
Optional – Sprinkle more sweetener over the top if needed.
