The purpose of this particular video for my students at the time I prepared it was to explain how to match carbohydrate intake to a set injection of insulin for blood glucose control. A more complete carb exchange list is provided by the CDC at www.cdc.gov/diabetes/managing/eat-well/diabetes-and-carbs/carbohydrate-choice-lists.html Since this is just an estimation system, I tell the students that 1 ounce of meat (egg, cheese, chicken, beef, etc) has 7 grams of protein. Fat content of foods vary widely. Best to read labels for fat grams. However, another abbreviated resource that includes information on fat and protein is found here: www.diabetesed.net/page/_files/THE-DIABETIC-EXCHANGE-LIST.pdf
Perhaps this website can help you understand the Exchange System for Meal Planning for Diabetes: dtc.ucsf.edu/living-with-diabetes/diet-and-nutrition/understanding-carbohydrates/counting-carbohydrates/carbohydrate-exchanges/
Just pointing out a few glaring concerns in this government sponsored program.. First. Cheese and Egg go into the Protein category? Because they have the same amount of nutrients and calories as chicken? Not even close. An orange and 1/2 cup juice are equal? Ridiculous. And the diabetic diet you outlined including: toast, grits, cereal, juice, etc. was horrifying. It’s guaranteed to keep a type 2 diabetic on insulin for life.

what about protein and fat exchages. How will they fit into a menu plan. Can you do other examples

Do you have a book or pdf on this thank you
Sure: www.cdc.gov/diabetes/managing/eat-well/diabetes-and-carbs/carbohydrate-choice-lists.html
How are u doing the math? 1g of carb= 4 calories. 1g protein=4 calories. 15g carbx4=60 calories. 3 g protein x 4=12 calories. 60+12=72 total calories
