Ambiguity of meaning of "servings"
I am having some confusion about how much a "serving" is. On page one at the beginning of the program explanation of grazing.... it says that most of the recipes provide 6-8 servings giving the plan to eat that recipe's worth prepared in 3-4 meal pairs.
Say for instance, the Turkey Wraps... making 6... Is that six servings, eating 1/2 wrap, or eating 3 wraps at one meal? This is not clear.
As well, when one makes the salad Green with Pears and Pecans. How is this to be divided up? In six portions? Please clarify. Will this work the same for the stews, soups, other food dishes.....? Always to divide up in six portions? Each portion being a full serving?
I cannot begin this program without understanding this.
Thank you,
Debbie
I am sorry you find the serving size recommendations ambiguous...
When something says two servings (like the turkey wraps), we'd like you to eat it twice (two meals). If something says 6 servings, we generally put it into the menu 6 times = 6 mini-meals Salads usually make 8 servings, so again, expect to be able to eat that salad 8 times = 8 mini-meals. If you are not eating mini-meals, you may instead eat the salad at 4 meals. Is this making more sense? I hope so. As for soups and stews, the recipes usually make 8-10 servings, and you may find you have some leftover, in which case you can freeze a few portions for having on hand when you don't have time to prepare the recommeded meal...

I think I understand about the way to separate out the servings. Such as 3 wraps at one mini meal. There is a lot of info to digest all at once. It's easy to get lost in what would otherwise be simple instructions. I am going to try to purchase enough in one week that would equal being able to serve my husband the same food I am eating. He is interested, but does not have the same weight issue as I have. He tends toward underweight although eating plenty of food. In fact, more than me by at least twice! This is why I was concerned about portions. I hope I have it figured out. That's a lot of salad greens! Purchased everything today. Including other supplement. Whey Protein, Greens Powder, Digestive enzymes.....etc. Spent a whopping total of almost $400. In a little shock.... Was not able to find every single thing.... But most all of the products where available here in Guelph Ontario.
