| Weight Watchers relies on food exchange lists to create a nutritionally
balanced diet. The protein exchange list includes meats, cheese,
beans, tofu, and other protein-rich foods, and you can substitute
anything on the list; thus, if you were supposed to have four
"proteins" at one meal, you could decide whether to use chicken
or beans or a soy substitute.
My husband had very good success with WW, and I'd recommend it as
a long-term program.

64.3 | Vegetarian plan | TALLIS::SLEWIS | | Tue Jun 23 1987 13:56 | 6 |
| The WW Plan allows for 4 ounces of cheese and 4 eggs per week. If
you elect to take their 'vegetarian plan' they will allow you 2
more of each-- 6 ounces of cheese and 6 eggs per week.

| The vegetarian WW plan also lists tofu and tempeh exchanges, and
even works in peanut butter as a protein if I remember correctly.

64.5 | Information on US frozen meals needed | SNOC01::MYNOTT | Hugs to all Kevin Costner lookalikes | Wed Jan 17 1990 19:39 | 15 |
| I'm not sure if this is the right place (please move if not).
I'm coming over to the States in May and staying with friends for two
weeks, both Mass. and NH. Because its probably easier if I buy frozen
dinners, could you tell me which ones have the lowest fat reading.
I hear WW have quite a high reading, but don't know of any other brands
available. We have one brand here in Australia that reads (depending
on your selection) under 8 grams per serve of about 300 calories.
Many thanks,

64.6 | healthy choice | JACKAL::PINEAU | | Thu Jan 18 1990 09:54 | 7 |
| There is a new type of frozen meal here called healthy choice.
They are extremely low in fat and also have fairly low sodium.
Going from memory I would say that their typical meal has about
280 calories and 3-7 grams of fat.

.5> dinners, could you tell me which ones have the lowest fat reading.
You should find nutritional information listed on the packages
of almost all prepared foods, dale.
You'll find grams-fat, grams-carbohydrates, grams-protein, total
calories (if you multiply calories/sering by servings/package), and
vitamin and mineral content.
