If the combined score for 3 Oreos is a 5 and my target meal score is 10, can I just eat 6 Oreos (2 sets of 3) for my meal?
Thrive365 helps you to choose healthy meals and include treats within the meal as well. But we expect you to use your own common sense and judgement. You should not have had a meal of just Oreos before you started Thrive365, and you shouldn’t now. Before you might have avoided Oreos forever, but now Thrive365 shows you how to have one, two or even three cookies as part of your meal, and we hope give you back some of your joy of eating. When eating to your Thrive365 meal score, you should always strive to meet the nutritional goals set by the American Diabetes Association by eating healthy and nutritionally diverse food items.
