The lower the carb units,the fewer carbohydrates the meal contains. When prepared with water, an Almased drink provides about180 calories (kcal) and approx. 1 carb unit. When preparedwith 10-12 ounces of skim milk and 1 teaspoon of oil, eachshake will provide between 330 to 350 kcal respectively andapprox. 2 carb units. One carb unit is defined as a serving of food that contains15 g of carbohydrates. The broth has about 10 to 30 kcal per bowl, the breakfastand meal suggestions are between 335 and 490 kcal,so your total caloric intake is approximately 1,200 to 1,300kcal per day. The broth contains few carbohydrates from vegetables,which do not have to be calculated as carb units. Breakfast, lunch and dinner meals have between 1.5 and 4carb units, whereas Almased provides approximately 1 carbunit (if mixed in water only).All recipes are diabetic friendly.18Good Health andWeight Loss for LifeLife PhaseBreakfast (An Example)Yogurt with Fruit:1 cup plain, low-fat yogurt6 tablespoons Almased1 slice fresh or canned pineapple½ orange½ grapefruit1 tablespoon sunflower seeds1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds4 carb unitsLunch1 serving of a low-carb meal (find examples in thisbrochure or on our website at www.almased.com)Between 1.5 and 2 carb units, depending on recipeDinner1 serving of a low-carb meal (find examples in thisbrochure or on our website at www.almased.com)Between 1.5 and 2 carb units, depending on recipeHelpful Tips for Life Phase:1.
