If your having one serving(one cup) of each of those foods your not eating a lot of calories. I added yesterdays menu up to see how much it was and was shocked that is was so low in calories. Am I missing something? B

Posted Wednesday, March 10, 2010 at 8:44 AM I don't really eat much bread, mainly because I tend to eat leftovers for lunch/dinner a lot. As far as the calories, you can eat more than one serving on this plan. I just eat enough so I'm not hungry anymore and don't worry about serving sizes. It's actually pretty liberating once you get used to not counting calories. The only things I'm careful about are grain servings, beans, tofu, oils, etc. It's pretty difficult to eat too many calories if you eat mostly fruits and veggies as long as they don't have any added fat on them.

Posted Wednesday, March 10, 2010 at 9:10 AM Although the nutrient analysis is for one serving, we don't recommend eating only one serving. You need to eat until you are satisfied. If you feel hungry, you are not eating enough. Remember, we recommend no limits on portions and no calorie counting. Susan Levin, MS, RD PCRM Director of Nutrition Education

B I agree – the food plans as written are small, and Susan is right to say that you can add more as necessary. But also keep in mind that many people doing this plan are in it to lose some weight, so they would feel somewhat hungry – that's going to come with the territory. As far as grains, the government recommends 6-11 servings per day, a serving being 1 oz. or equivalent. 1 piece of whole grain bread would be 1 serving. You'd have to check the serving sizes of packages of the grains you eat to determine what's appropriate for you. For my daily plan, I figure out how many calories I need and then work backwards to determine how much I get to eat. It's weird, but it works! Molly Horn
