Food Exchanges<br />
NOTE: You can use this to exchange certain foods in<br />
the recipes that you may not love for foods that<br />
you do love. This will give you an idea of how much<br />
of what food you can exchange to stay in correct<br />
portions of fats, proteins, veggies, fruits,<br />
and carbs.<br />
Carbs:<br />
• ½ gluten free pita<br />
• 1 tortilla size pizza crust recipe<br />
• 1 slice Ezekiel bread (whole grain bread product)<br />
or 1 slice gluten free whole grain bread<br />
• ½ cup cooked oatmeal, all variety rice, amaranth,<br />
beans<br />
• ¼ cup hummus (hummus will also be added as a<br />
fat)<br />
Fats:<br />
• 1 handful of raw unsalted nuts (approx. 1/8 cup)<br />
• 1 tbsp. almond/peanut butter<br />
• 1 tbsp. oil<br />
• ½ avocado<br />
• 1 tbsp. hummus<br />
• 4 Edamame shells or 1/8 cup
Veggies / fruits:<br />
• I am considering them in raw uncooked form.<br />
Proteins:<br />
• Approximately one deck of cards worth of meat<br />
• 1 scoop of whey protein<br />
• ½ cup of cottage cheese, kefir or Greek yogurt<br />
• 3 egg whites or 2 whole eggs<br />
Additional Notes:<br />
• I would go sparingly on the sugars and milks, 2<br />
tsp./day on sugars and 1/8-1/4 cup of almond/<br />
coconut milk/day.<br />
• In addition, if the recipe is in the snack area, do<br />
not eat it for dinner or lunch, as those items<br />
tend to have more sugars and you will go over<br />
your limit for the day.<br />
• <strong>Recipes</strong> should stay within their categories.<br />
Free Foods:<br />
These can be eaten as often as you want:<br />
• Dijon mustard<br />
• Mushrooms<br />
• salsa (homemade preferably)
