Am curious as to where to find the nutritional values of the recipes on the kick-start menu plan. Do they have calorie counts PER serving size and is the serving size specified. It does me no good to prepare a stew when the calorie count says ## calories per serving and THEN doesn't give you the serving size.

The nutrition facts should say for one cup cooked (sorry about that!). Most other recipes should state "per serving," and then you can see how many servings a recipe makes near the recipe's title. In general, our plan is not based on calorie counting or portion control We suggest eating until you are satisfied. These recipes are all low in fat and high in fiber - so eating until you feel satisfied is encouraged! Susan Levin, MS, RD PCRM Director of Nutrition Education

For instance, I am following diet plan calling for a specific caloric intake...so it is important to me to have some idea of the calories I am ingesting with each of the selections on you menu, along with serving size.

I found all the nutritional values on the expanded pages with the recipes. I had originally printed out ONLY the daily menus. Now I have the information I need, for the most part. Thanks.
