1600 or 1700 cal. diet??
Question: My mom was just diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. And the doctor put her on a 1600 or a 1700 cal. diet. What I have been trying to find is like a sample menu that tells what size portion of meat veggie and what not should be. I have looked online and I cant find a sight for it. Also need to know what foods they consider to be free foods, I know fresh carrots are considered a free food, but not sure what else is. If anyone has an idea of what I need and can let me know I would greatly appreciate it...
Answers: A serving size of meat is generally about the size of your fist. Most important is that she have lean meats that are baked or grilled and that she really watch the pasta and breads. (IE- she can have a serving of mac and cheese with her supper but no dinner roll to accompany it) An excellent source of information is the American Diabetes Association. She should have the benefit to speak with a diabetic counselor. Have her call her insurance company to verify her benefits and to get a list of participating counselors. They specialize in helping diabetics and teaching them everything they need to know about their diabetes and how and what to eat.

I am currently on 1800 cals/day. Start by writing down everything you eat and the number of calories. After a while you will get to know how many calories things are and what a decent portion size looks like. Eat frequently. I eat every 2 hours.
Watch your portion size.

You might use the new pyramid web site. It offers you the opportunity to figure out how many calories you will be taking in and should help to figure out what to eat. You might also talk to a dietician. Most offer diabetic nutrition counseling.
