hello! im getting confuse with the 1 cup or 1/2 cup portion/serving, since i am used to weigh each item and get the grams. 1 cup of the veggie is equivalent to how many grams? thanks

Rheanna, you don't have to substitute food items based on calories, but rather, to make it easier, I suggest you do it based on food portions and serving.
For example, if you crave for sweets, let say 1 serving of brownie, you can replace 1 serving of any of your starch allowance (it may be for lunch or dinner) for the serving of brownie you have eaten.
Another example, if you want to drink a tall cup of mocha frappuccino, since it is made with coffee and milk, then it is equivalent to 1 dairy serving. This means you have to take out 1 dairy serving from your meal plan if you are going to have the mocha frap.
Use the List of Food Equivalences and Structure for Custom Meal Plans in the Bonus as guide if you want to substitute food items.

Hi Charmaine,
A regular Tall (12 oz) Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino is equal to 280 calories while a Grade cup (16 oz) is 400 - is this the regular one?
Also, how many calories is one serving of fruit, veg, meat, fat, starch, dairy respectively? So that I can manage my calorie intake in case I crave in for sweets. hihi :P (bad!)

A tall mocha frap without whipped cream and with nonfat milk is equal to 180 calories while a grande cup is 260 calories.

As for Chinese hopia, since one piece is about 200 kcal and you are following the 1400 kcal program, you can probably add one to reach the recommended 1600 kcal allowance for men.

Men should follow the 1600 kcal program, which you can set in your Profile. I hope you're not having trouble with the 1400 kcal program right now, but if you can manage, you can go on.

Hi cors!
For ease of preparation, you can just measure your vegetable serving using cups (a dry measuring cup will do). If this is not available, you can just estimate your vegetable serving per meal by filling up half of your regular meal plate with vegetables. But if you are more comfortable in measuring your food by the gram, here's the vegetable equivalent in grams:
1 cup raw leafy vegetable = 25 g
2 cups cooked leafy vegetable = 45 g
1/2 cup raw starchy vegetable (e.g carrots, squash) = 40 g
1/2 cup cooked starchy vegetable = 45 g
