Principles of Eating Habits

About the Exchange System

The exchange system is based on six food groups. They are as follows: the starch/bread group, the meat group, the vegetable group, the fruit group, the milk group and the fat group. Each group contains foods with approximately the same amounts of protein, carbohydrate, fat and calories, based on a certain portion size.
The exchange system is not an exact science. Therefore, often, "close enough is good enough."
When first learning the exchange system, weigh and/or measure the amount of food specified for each meal.
After you have a basic understanding of the exchange system, use a scale and measuring cups one day per week.
