Hello, could I please have the exchanges for the following:

Chicken Tikka Masala
Tandori-style baked chicken in a tangy, indian-style piced creamy tomato sauce with potatoes, raisins, and almonds.
1 serving = 5oz. or 142 g
Calories = 190
Total Fat = 9g
Sodium = 650mg
Total Carbs = 12g
Dietary Fiber = 2g
Protein = 18g

My guess is 2 meat/ 1 starch/ 1/2 fat

Cashew Chicken
Marinated white chicken meat in bite-size portions served in a savory asian-inspired sauce with celery, red bell peppers and crunchy cashews
1 serving = 5oz. or 142g
Calories = 170
Total fat = 8g
Sodium = 550mg
Total carbs = 8g
Dietary fiber = 1g
Protein = 17g

My guess is 2 meat/ 1 starch/ 1 vegetable

Thank you for your post,

Chicken Tikka Masala = 1 starch, 2 meat, 1/2 fat


Cashew Chicken = 1 vegetable, 2 meat, 1 fat
* I am assuming there is enough vegetables to count as 1 vegetable serving in this food item. 1 vegetable serving is about 25 calories, 5g carbohydrates, 2g protein.

Enjoy!
