Dietary Guidelines from the American Diabetes Association

The Exchange Lists are the basis of a meal planning system designed by a committee of the American Diabetes Association and the American Dietetic Association. While designed primarily for people with diabetes and others who must follow special diets, the Exchange Lists are based on principles of good nutrition that apply to everyone.

A Registered Dietitian can help a person with diabetes determine the amount of carbohydrate that should be eaten per day and at each meal and snack. For consistent blood glucose levels, the amount of carbohydrate eaten should be spread throughout the day to allow for a more even release of glucose into the blood from meal to meal and from day to day. The total number of meals and snacks and their timing throughout the day can differ for each person depending on nutritional needs, lifestyle and medications.

According to recent research, the amount of carbohydrate in a meal is more important than the type of carbohydrate. Foods high in carbohydrates include grains such as rice, pasta, breads, cereals and similar foods; fruits and juices; vegetables; milk and milk products; and anything made with added sugars, such as sweetened beverages, candies, cookies and other desserts.

In addition to the Exchange Lists, many diabetics now use carbohydrate counting. By knowing the carbohydrate goal (the number of grams of carbohydrate to eat) for each meal and snack, choices can be made by counting the total number of carbohydrates in the meal. Each Starch, Fruit and Milk exchange serving contains roughly 15 grams of carbohydrate and each Vegetable exchange serving contains roughly 5 grams of carbohydrate. Fat and protein content of foods should also be monitored for overall good health.

General Guidelines

  • The following recommendations follow the guidelines of the American Diabetic Association for lower fat choices and the selection of healthier fats and oils.
  • Know the number of exchanges or carbohydrates you have available for the meal.
  • Request a take-home container at the beginning of the meal. Take home the additional food beyond the servings you can eat at your meal.
  • Use the specific information provided for each item to determine the amount of each item you can eat.
  • Ask for bread instead of starter plate. Dip bread in olive oil instead of using butter.
    • Each bread is 7 ounces.
    • Each 1 oz. portion of bread = 1 Starch or 15 Carbohydrates and each teaspoon of olive oil = 1 Fat.

Heart-Healthy Diet

Dietary Guidelines from the American Heart Association

The eating plan from the American Heart Association is based on the latest advice of medical and nutrition experts. The best way to help lower your blood cholesterol level is to eat less saturated fat and cholesterol, control your weight and walk or do another physical activity for at least 30 minutes each day. The plan is based on these dietary guidelines:

  • Total calories should be adjusted to reach and maintain a healthy weight.
  • Saturated fat intake should be 7 to 10 percent of calories (or even less).
  • Polyunsaturated fat intake should be up to 10 percent of calories.
  • Monounsaturated fat can make up to 15 percent of total calories.
  • Total fat intake should be adjusted to caloric needs. Overweight individuals should consume no more than 30 percent of total calories from fat.
  • Cholesterol intake should be less than 300 milligrams per day.
  • Sodium intake should be less than 2,400 milligrams per day, which is about 1 teaspoon of sodium chloride (salt).

In addition, the American Heart Association makes the following recommendations related to Meat, Poultry and Fish:

Servings per Day
Eat no more than 6 oz. (cooked) of lean meat, poultry and fish.
Try to eat 1-2 servings of baked or grilled fish each week.

Serving size
3 oz. cooked (4 oz. raw) lean meat, poultry or fish

Choose from:
Fish and shellfish — Shrimp and crayfish are higher in cholesterol than most other types of fish, but lower in fat and saturated fat than most meats and poultry.
Poultry — This can include chicken, Cornish hen and turkey (without skin), as well as ground turkey.
Lean beef — Use cuts from the round, chuck, sirloin and loin. Buy "choice" cuts or "select" grades of beef rather than "prime." Choose lean or extra lean ground beef (no more than 15% fat).
Lean ham, lean pork — Use tenderloin and loin chop. Avoid ham and Canadian bacon, which are higher in sodium than other meats.
Lean lamb — Use leg, arm and loin.
