      Hi, Merlyn0411. We don’t really work with calories in this program, but rather with meeting your nutritional needs. Note also that we start with your needs at your current weight, then right-size portions as your weight goes down – which is why it is important to update the weight in your profile when there is a major change (about 5-10%).
      I can tell you that you are currently allotted about 180 grams carbohydrate and 83 grams each protein and fat, and assumes a certain level of physical activity? What exercise do you like to do?

      Hi, foggysunshine. You can see the exchanges you are allotted by clicking on the “Exchange mode” icon in the toolbar above your menu. Each exchange translates approximately to the following nutritional values:
      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
      According to the information in your profile, you are allotted approximately 225 grams of carbohydrate, 100 grams of protein, and 80 grams of fat.

        Hi, Ehoward. Just match up the exchanges at the end of the recipe with those allotted to you for the snack (you can see these by clicking on the “Exchange View” button above your menu). You can also create your own snack by clicking on the edit tool to the upper right of the snack meal in your menu, then making choices of ingredients from the master food list. You will be guided by an exchange pattern calculated to meet your needs and goals.
