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)

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