Alissa's Daily Calorie Intake

I saw a diabetes nutritionist this morning. This is my eating plan:

Daily Totals:
Carbohydrates 12
Protein 8 ounces
Fat 4
Calories 1650

Breakfast:
3 Carbohydrates = 45 grams
(starch, fruit, milk, sweets)
0-1 Protein (ounces)
(meat, eggs, cheese)
1 Fat
1-2 servings non-starchy free vegetables

Lunch:
4 Carbohydrates = 60 grams
3 Protein (ounces)
1 Fat
1-2 servings non-starchy free vegetables

Dinner:
4 Carbohydrates = 60 grams
5 Protein (ounces)
1-2 Fat
1-2 servings non-starchy free vegetables

1 Snack:
1 Carbohydrate = 15 grams

She gave me a book to help me determine what each food fits in category wise. This is helpful because I would have never guessed that yogurt is a carbohydrate. I'm now moving to eat plain yogurt and add fruit myself. Cottage cheese is a protein. Honey is just as bad as sugar. Lots to learn!

I am to exercise at least 30 min. a day.
