Earlier I asked a question about the fats in one of the meals and based upon the response I am slightly confused and want to make sure I’m doing the right thing. If all the meals (except post workout) are interchangeable then if I were to eat women’s plan 3 meal 3 option 2, would I not fall short of my fats for the day. Additionally, womens plan 3 meal 4 option 1 is only 1 LP, 3/4 sc, and 1 fat, but if I want more food, technically I could exchange it for meal 1 option 1 and have 1 lp, 1 sc, and 1.5 fat. This is where I’m confused. I always want to eat more food but the response I got in my previous question doesn’t make sense. Please help me understand.
Are they only interchangeable for within each meal bracket? I was under the impression all of the meals were interchangeable. (Minus post workout)

Correct, all of the meals are interchangeable within Option 1 & Option 2, except the post workout and not interchangeable between the regular and plant-based plans. Nicole calculated everything for you with a range of calories and macros, it’s not going to be exact but within about 5-10g of your macro goals. She calculated the exchange portions based on the other foods listed in the meals, so if there is a fatty protein in one meal and a lean protein in another meal, the fat serving size is going to be different because of the fat content contained in the fatty protein, does that make sense?
Yes I totally get that, but I was under the impression ALL meals were interchangeable so if I wanted to eat meal 4 option 1 the entire time, I could. That doesn’t appear to be the case though…so glad I asked. I will just stick with the macro options for meal 1…then meal 2 and so on. Thank you 🙂

You are able to eat the same meal for all 4 meals but it is not recommended for optimal results. The calories and macros for the meals ARE all the same, except post workout. But the portion of fats, proteins & carbs it takes to comprise each meal is slightly different, does that make sense? If you eat Meal 1 for all 4 meals, you are hitting all your calories & macros. If you eat meals 2, 3 or 4 for all 4 meals, you would be hitting all your calories and macros.
