Hi - I've just reached halfway and I've found a few online resources that I think might help people. I'm still getting the hang of how to use exchanges but I think these will help.

The first is a recipe calculator that will give you an analysis you need to calculate exchanges. It's via sparkpeople, an online diet site that you must join but it's free!

There may be other resources at this site that would be helpful - if anyone finds useful tools, please share!

The second is an exchanges calculator that will let you add up your servings/exchanges and give you an output broken down by calories and percentages in fat, protein and carbohydrates.

It would be nice to find a site that let's you do both these things seamlessly going from a recipe to an exchange calculator. If I find one, I will surely let you all know!
