Veges: How many are we supposed to have in day- I know that you can never have enough but I want to make sure that I am getting the amount that I SHOULD have.
Cheese- Much debate about this! How much per day?
Example: I am making a "mock waffle" for breakfast tomorrow. It has richotta chesse in it. Should I cool it on the Milk and Cheese products then? When I have these, I ususally do not have any more cheese for the day. There is 1/4 C richotta in these.
Sweets:
I picked up a box of "The Original Brand Popsicle Fudgsicle and Creamsicle Sugar Free Multi pack the other day.
The ingredients for each is as follows:
Each are based on 2 pieces- I only eat one
Popsicle
Calories 20
Carbs 9

Sugars 0
Sugar Alcohol 6
Fudgesicle

Sat fat 0.5

Soooooo. Based on what is listed above. Which is the smartest choice?

You seem to have some information confused:
Veggies:
breakfast: AT LEAST 1/2 CUP of veggies OR 6 oz of veggie juice.
Lunch and dinner: AT LEAST 2 CUPS EACH at lunch and dinner.
Quote: Cheese- Much debate about this! How much per day?
For this diet cheese is counted as a protein and it's unlimited.
The serving for low-fat milk/plain yogurt is up to 2 cups per day.
Sweets:
We count the calories from sweet treats up to 100 calories per day.
Your fudgscicles are fine. You can have 5 popcicles, 1 fudgcicle and 2 creamcicle.
Enjoy, |

| Technically cheese is unlimited is true. Some will say that it is still calorie dense as far as SB foods go and 3-4 servings a day is probably a good rule of thumb as it can be a "diet-buster" for some people. A 1/4 cup of ricotta is likely just a single serving (not sure though, might even be less than a serving), so I wouldn't let that limit other cheeses during the day and as Ami points out, it has nothing to do with the dairy allowance at all since they are in different categories. |

hey Thanks so much to both of you for the information!
I had my information backwards.......... It turns out that I have been shorting myself with dairy. Veges I am ok with.............. I was suprised about the dessert pops that I mentioned. again, underestimated it.
Thanks again for the news I can use! Fantastic!
