Its really confusing and not clear enough on the guide thxx Just 1 question cos im not sure to eat enough.I eat a lot but tell me.
i follow the portion approach, i will give u an example :
Beans : for 100 grams i have 90 calories ( 16 g of carbs)
We know that 1g/carb=4 calories so 16g=64 carbs calories.
…1 carbs portion=200 calories so if i want to eat 200 calories of carbs (beans for ex) should… i have to take 300grams??? to have my 200 calories of carbs (and only carbs) or portion approach of 200calories included all (protein carbs and fat )?? so just 200 grams (1oo g of beans=90calories)
hope im clear just want to know if 1 carbs portion=200 calories (included all groups ) or just carbs.
thx for helping

second question: if i take 3 protein powder a day ( i have 6 protein portions a day) it is not too much???
should i have to deducted of my protein portions??
my protein bar is 270 calories shoul i count it as a snack??or as a protein portion??
Its really confusing and not clear enough on the guide

I really want to get started with this program, but: I gott confused creating my own mealplan using the portion approach. Yoghurt for example is in both diary and snack but does 8oz count as one diary and then you have to add another 8oz to get the snack one? Or does 8oz yoghurt count as both 1 diary and 1 snack? I was also wondering the same thing when it comes to oatmeal. 1 cup is 1 carb but wouldnt it also be 1 protein, since oatmeal contains a lot of it? Because eating 5 different foods from the protein list seems like a lot! Same thing with the protein bar, is that also 1 protein or just a snack? Does 1 portion of protein equal like 20g of protein or am i totally off? Thanks in advance! Hi!

I was wondering if the snacks should be calculated as a dairy protion, protein, carbs, etc. I don't want to have a bigger intake than I need. I just need a little clarification. Thank you so much Hi,

What can I substitute for the recommended dairy and still get all of the benefits of "real" dairy products? Hi, I’m just getting ready to start but have dairy allergies.

I was going to go for the Meal Plan Approach but I noticed that the amount of protein is WAY more then what I would be eating if I stuck to the Portion Approach. For example Day 7 on the level 1 meal plan tells me to eat the turkey bacon and the Cheese Scramble - thats 3 out of my 5 portions of protein for the day. And then I am supposed to have 6 oz of tuna for lunch and 6 oz of chicken for dinner. So that puts me up to 7 servings of protein for that one day and according to the portion approach I should only be having 5 servings of protein a day? Thanks in advance!

If you check your nutrition plan, it tells you about how much 1 serving of each food is. To the left of the list in each category. -Mike Hello Gary,

about 3 oz of lean meat is a1 serving of protein. If you check your nutrition plan, it tells you about how much 1 serving of each food is. To the left of the list in each category.
