Menu Planning

Weaz66

When I was growing up my mother had lists she followed faithfully. She was on a 1500 calorie diet. For each meal it told her to choose an elective(s) from the each food group on the list and showed the portion size. An example would be choose for supper: 1 meat, 2vegs, 1 fruit and 1 fat. Does anyone remember these? I'm terrible at menu planning and thought maybe something similar would help me put some meal plans together.

What you're talking about is the food exchange system----if you google "food exchange lists" you should be able to find information on following this kind of diet plan.

Thank you...for the life of me I couldn't think of what they were called!
