What is an USA Food Exchange?  It's like trading  5 pennies for 1
nickel or 10 dime for a dollar  bill. Right!  Okay.  In food exchanges,
you may exchanges one  measurement or amount of food for another food
in the same group, ie,  if by change, such as I do...I have a 1/2
grapefruit every  morning...let's say I ran out! I would look over the
fruit exchange  list to see what was there that I could have from the
exchange group  of the fruit list...then I could choose something from
the fruit  exchange.. Ah! Ha! I see I can sneak one of Bert's orange's.
(2 1/2"  across)= 1/2 cup fresh fruit.  The Food Exchange System is
based on six exchanges lists: Starch/bread  exchange, meat, vegetables,
fruits, milk, and fats.  There is also  some special lists.  Foods are
grouped within each list on the basis  of similar amounts of
carbohydrate, protein, and fat.  For example,  one fruit exchange is
CHO: 15g, PRO: 0g; FAT: 0g; CAL: 60;  This  equivalent to 1/2 cup of
grapefruit juice, but only a 1/3 cup of  prune juice because prune
juice has more sugar then grapefruit juice.  Keep in mind that there
will be some surprises.  Corn, for example,  is a vegetable, but it
appears on the starch/bread list.  That is  because corn is starchy and
its carbohydrate value is much closer to  bread then to most
vegetables. Foods from the starch/bread list is  sometimes called
STARCH EXCHANGE and sometimes called the  BREAD  EXCHANGE---but they
mean the same thing.  File
