Nutritional Analysis: This menu provides 43 grams effective carbohydrate plus 30 grams fiber, 88 grams protein, and 1570 calories.

Note: Calories can be varied by adding and subtracting protein and fat (if you get hungry, add more calories), or, if your particular carbohydrate needs vary from this, by changing amounts of carbohydrate foods. All menus have essentially all essential vitamins and minerals except for calcium and Vitamin D. “Essentially” means that one particular vitamin might be a bit under one day or another. For the most part, these menus far exceed the minimum requirements. Some menus have a lower carb option. My analysis of the nutrients other than carbs does not include this option.
