Hi everyone!
I just started Jenny this week and so far it's going great! I've been really sticking to the pre-planned menu for week 1 (1200 cal).
The only thing that's been hard is my coffee addiction - 1 cup w/ 1 equal and 2 creamers. The cream is 10 calories and 1 gram of fat for each little prepackaged cup.
Can my coffee count as a limited free food? Would this mean I could have 3 cups of coffee / day?
Thanks for your support!

Hey Whitney-
Welcome and congrats on your decision to eat healthier!
I, too, am a coffee addict...but I used pure sugar and LOTS of 1/2 n 1/2...it took a couple of weeks, but I adjusted. I'm a splenda girl now!
For the cream...I can't answer your question about the exchanges for limited free foods (if you post under Ask the Dietician (sp?) they will answer) but I do know I switched to coffeemate powder and it is a limited serving. Either that, or call your center for the quick answer. They don't mind! I do know the coffee is free and the sweetner is free, just don't know about the 1/2 n 1/2.
Good luck to you-
