Another “math” problem I can’t solve or comprehend, if I exchange meal 4 on plan 3 option 2, 5oz of top sirloin for ground turkey or salmon do I keep the ounces the same as what the plan calls for, 5oz?

Not necessarily. You look at what the exchange on the meal item says 1 LP or 1 FP and then you go to that list in the exchange list. What’s listed is 1 serving. So you would use that measurement because the 1 LP meals 1 serving of lean protein for example.

Top serloin and salmon are both Fatty Proteins (FPs) and ground turkey is a Lean Protein (LP). Make sure you watch the video Nicole has on how to use the food exchange list (as I mentioned in your other question about how to exchange white rice serving). I linked the video in my previous comment, but am not sure if you watched it or not. She explains in her video exactly how to use the food exchange list. Click on THIS LINK and scroll to the first video “HOW TO USE THE FOOD EXCHANGE LIST.”
Lean ground turkey is listed under Fatty Proteins on the food exchange list.
I will re watch the video again. It didn’t help the first time I watched it.
So what does 1/4 equal to? 1 serving is easy to calculate it’s the 1/2 and 1/4 I don’t understand.Is your ground Turkey 93% (FP) or 99& (LP)? Makes a difference for macros.
I’m exchanging sirloin for chicken thighs (FP) for same ounces.
I’m just going to assume 5oz of top sirloin can be exchanged for 5 oz of salmon or ground turkey.
All of the other proteins in the FP exchange list happened to be listed at 4oz so 1 1/4 would be 5 oz. Of whatever you wanted to exchange for sirloin in the FP list. Requires some math to figure out what a 1/4 is. But you got it.
I saw Nicole Wilkins post a recipe for chocolate chip muffins & made them this weekend… they are DELICIOUS!!! But, I want to know what I count them as in my meal plan.
Thank youThis recipe was posted on the NPower Nutrition Facebook page (please click & follow the page, then scroll down to see the recipe) and instagram page (IG: @npowernutrition) and is not part of the challenge recipes, so it, unfortunately, doesn’t fit nice and neat into any of the meal macros. Just like any other recipe that’s not part of the current challenge, unless you are skilled at calculating macros and can fit it into your plan by adjusting other meals and macros, it would be best to stick to the meals, foods & recipes that are already incorporated in the current challenge 😉
