Giving a juice serving at mid-morning and mid-afternoon is the most realistic way to meet that requirement. In addition doing it this way meets most state requirements to serve a snack at mid morning and mid afternoon. The evening snack suggestions are on a separate snack menu page with multiple suggestions All menus, calorie controlled, diabetic diets and modified diets include the dietitian s signature. A letter verifying her credentials and also that the menus meet your state specific regulation is included in the introductory material.
This page is the SPRING CYCLE WEEK 2 REGULAR DIET MENU, Monday MenuPlus Dietary Manual Copyright 2017 April, May & June Most calendars are laid out from Sunday through Saturday... however as you can see the menus are laid out Monday to Sunday for a very good reason. Most of your problems come on the weekend. The shopping lists were originally called inventory control sheets but I found the term to be somewhat threatening to staff who at times did not want any controls placed upon them. If you take the meats and place them in the freezer at the beginning of the week and the week day staff follow the menu then the weekend staff have no choice but to follow the menu because that s all that is left. When staff know that you can come in on Wednesday and why is the roast that is not to be used till Sunday gone.... you can get a better handle on theft.

The limits of a 4 gram no added salt diet are gone as are the pyramids.
This page is the SUMMER CYCLE WEEK 3 THURSDAY ONLY for the CALORIE CONTROLLED & S There is a separate page for each day of each 28 day cycle This format allows you to easily see the differences between a 1200 calorie diabetic and a 1500 or 2,500 calorie diabetic diet. If they don t get the item the line is left blank. Higher calorie levels just double serving sizes. Here you can see the 1200 calorie does not get the bread exchange (corn flakes) or the fat exchange (margarine) so the line is left blank.

The ONLY difference is whether they get the item or not.... and serving sizes are sometimes different on a diabetic diet. This is a copy of the SUMMER CYCLE WEEK 3 THURSDAY ONLY of the calorie controlled & diabetic diets. There is a separate page for each day of each cycle... 28 days per cycle x 4 cycles equals 112 pages for calorie controlled diabetic diets. Each of these separate diets are also available on the CD-ROM individually in a weekly diet format. Each manual can be ordered with either the Diabetic Diets and Modified Diets on a daily basis (as shown here) or a weekly basis (just like the regular diet).
This page is the FALL CYCLE WEEK 4 SUNDAY ONLY for the MODIFIED DIETS There is a separate page for each day of each 28 day cycle The MODIFIED DIETS do have a lot of changes, so the REGULAR DIET is repeated... just as a point of reference to see what the changes are. For over 30 years the MenuPlus dietary Manuals have always had a 4 gram no added salt diet and a 2 gram low sodium diet. The new USDA recommendations have necessitated that for the majority of people a 1,500 mg. or 1.5 gram low sodium diet is recommended. A 1 gram low sodium requires Salt Free bread, which is extremely difficult to find... generally you can find frozen salt free bread dough and you must bake the bread.

MODIFIED DIETS (NO ADDED SALT TO BE USED IN PREPARATION OR AT THE TABLE) October, November & December SANDWICH DIET Cooked cereal Salad Apricots Sweet Potatoes Beans Mixed Fruit Salad See Separate Snack Menu for Choice There are actually seven different formats to the menus to meet every ones different needs. This manual is the most popular for ICF/IDD, MH, & waiver homes as it treats the sandwich lunch as a modified diet. There are two other manuals which have the sandwich lunch as the regular diet. The problem is that because of the new MyPlate recommendations the variety of sandwiches which can be used is extremely limited because of high sodium in most deli meats and cheeses. This is the first manual which by necessity must be product specific. In other words specify that deli meats should be low sodium, American cheese is gone replaced with low sodium Swiss cheese, salad dressings are gone replaced by vinegar & oil and many products specify No Added Salt. Fortunately of late it has been much easier than previously to find these products in most grocery stores.
