IP Alternative help
 

I am on week 2 and need some alternatives. Can anyone provide a list of what they use from Nashua Nutrition that are IP compatible?

I haven't figured out all the conversion yet and am sure someone here has and has had success getting equilivants. Would love a list of items!

Protidiet maple oatmeal-unrestricted
Protidiet peanut caramel crisp bar- unrestricted

Here are a few that I liked (there are many more...)
Quest protein powder
Proti-thin and Proti-diet bars (most are restricted)
Quest chips

Nashua has all the nutrition information on all their products, you just have to check them against the guidelines below to see if they fit IP protocol, and if they are restricted or unrestricted.

There is a series of threads (current oen is Part 7) devoted to using alternatives, lots of information there; here's a link:

Here are the guidelines:

Here's a detailed breakdown to consider:
- under 160 calories = Unrestricted (though MOST IP packets range from 90-120)
- 160-200 calories = Restricted (once/daily)
slightly over 200 cals (or 30% fat) is super-restricted (once/weekly)
- less than 30% cal from fat (multiply cals from fat x 3; OK if lower than total cals.)
- under 8 g net carbs - unrestricted
- 9g-16g net carbs - restricted
- 17g net carbs - super restricted (only once/twice per week)
- above 17g net carbs is too high to be good for Phase 1
- at least 12-15g protein (don’t go much above 20g regularly)

* NET = Total carbs minus fiber
