I made a Food Exchange Calculator using Microsoft Works Spreadsheet if anyone wants it. All you need to do is enter your calories, carbs, protein, fats, and estimate your vegie servings and it does the rest. I have tested it with the JC foods using the exchanges in the Halfway Success Guide and it is accurate. It is exact, though. It seems like JC rounds up some exchanges and rounds down some exchanges. This calculator gives you the exact exchanges. The only thing I couldn't get it to do is estimate Milk exchanges. If I figure out how to do my milk exchanges, I will see if I can add it into the program.

It is much easier to use than having to calculate your exchanges manually everytime you get a prepackaged food. Anyway, if anyone would like me to email it to you, just send me a Private Message with your email address and I will be happy to forward it to you.

It would be awesome if the website would make an exchange calculator available on the website.

I would love this!!! I just posted an excel spreadsheet I use to plan my menus. If you could send me your exchange calculator, it would be so much easier to figure out those extras not on the menu!!!!!
