I have the core list of foods and have a question about it. It says to have macaroni, whole wheat pasta, brown rice, potatoes, yams only once a day. Now does that mean I can only choose one of those foods for my daily, eat as much as I want? Or does it mean I can eat all of those any time during the day?

Example: breakfast- steamed potatoes, fruit

Lunch- brown rice, steamed veggies

Supper- whole wheat pasta with turkey meatballs and salad

Thanks

It means you can choose one out of the three options (ww pasta, brown rice, potatoes-any type) per day not one serving of each. Macaroni is not core unless it's whole wheat.

ex:
b: eggs, fruit
l: grilled chicken and veggies
d: ww pasta, brown rice OR potato, meatballs and salad

If you choose to have any of these at more than one meal, you should use points for those servings. I don't believe portion sizes have been mentioned, but I may be wrong. I think you eat til satisfied but I usually measure out a portion. I don't want to go overboard.

Hope I helped.

Another twist on the menu is that you are allowed cereal for breakfast:

ex:
b: cereal, fruit
l: grilled chicken and veggies
d: ww pasta, brown rice OR potato, meatballs and salad

Yes, that has been a big help. Thank you.

You can have there at anytime the key is it has to be eaten with milk (for the cold cereals)

or ff plain yogurt

you are right but I never have gotten into the yogurt/cereal thing so I spaced that.
