Like the exchange system, but have not used it often. Try to keep it in mind by keeping meals balanced and healthy.0

Looks like it has been a long time since I asked this...so I will ask again...maybe we have some new people. Anyone here following the Exchange Food Program????
Anyone know of a good way to track food exchanges instead of calories on this site???0 -
I honestly just joined this site so I could find TOPS people online, and don't plan on using the food trackers on here. You can always just write down what you're eating. That's how I track. I don't have a smartphone, but I have a regular cell with a lot of little "features" like notes, etc, so I use the notes feature to write down what I eat. It's funny, any time I've lost a substantial amount of weight and kept it off for say, a year or two, I was just kind of naturally using the food pyramid/my plate system, very similar to the Exchange program in some ways, and it's so much easier to me than counting calories. I of course use a food's caloric content to make a decision as to whether or not it would be a good idea to eat something, but I don't count overall calories for the whole day and I'm losing at a normal rate (0.5 to 1 lb per week). The Exchange system is very effective in my opinion.0

Working on it. Will post food here and use cards. Also working on cutting out added sugar.0

I'm new to TOPS also - used MFP a few years ago & will try to be more diligent. I am using the Food Exchange Cards & they help!0
