The Quality Calorie Diet

Over the years the research has been done to show that losing weight and eating healthy are not about restricting carbohydrates or fat or protein (or any other silly fad diet). It’s about calories.  Very simple really but most importantly it’s about the quality of the calories you eat – hence our name change to The Quality Calorie Diet Plan. 

The change is to reflect that quality calories fits best with a successful, healthy diet plan. 

In our new software you will find so much more.  There’s still the 2 week menu planner, shopping lists and delicious healthy recipes.  We are still the only plan that offers you the ability to create menus for your whole family.  We have not changed the choices for those challenged by health issues such as Coumadin use, lactose intolerance or acid reflux. 

The software now also includes:

  • Complete exercise tracking
  • Personal calorie record for menu changes or snacks
  • Goal monitoring for you and all members of your family
  • Recipe box with nutrition analysis
  • Use of your recipes in menu planning

Salads

A lot of participants in this plan asked about having a salad at lunch or dinner. They wanted to have one with their sandwich or with a half serving of soup. This is a fine idea since greens and most veggies don’t add up to many calories and they have a lot of great nutrients.

There are some dressings included in the extra recipes section for just this purpose. These generally have about 50 calories in a serving and this is the most that you would want your dressing to have. Remember that if the greens are very dry you will need less dressing because it clings to the salad better.

Leftovers

Remember, a lunch serving is one-half of a leftover dinner serving.
