    LA Exchange: 1 Protein, 1 Vegetable, 1 Starch
  • Just out of curiousity, how is it that peas count as a vegetable? Aren't they a starch?
  • The peas are 1 cup for 6 servings, which would not be enough to count as a starch. That is probably why it counts as a veg. The recipes that come from the LA chef are broken down by calories and nutritional value, so some of the breakdowns may seem weird, but they are correct.
  • Okay, that makes sense to me. Thanks. I was just a bit worried!
  • I' m new to 3fatchicks but when I read your weight loss I was so impressed. Way to go!
  • I gotta tell you... this stuff is AMAZING...except, the way my best friend and I used to eat this in college (this was seriously our favorite meal) Keep in mind...we made this as cheap as possible. but it's sooooo good!

    1 can cream of mushroom soup
    1 can peas (or frozen)
    a little bit of soy milk
    1 can tuna

    mix all this together

    then add those brown chinese noodle things.

    OMG soooooooo good. WAY better than the egg noodles.
