Question:

The FEL is a dietary guide that groups foods in terms of equivalent amounts of carbohydrates, protein, fat and energy. Hence, food in any group may be "exchanged" with other food in the same list or subgroup.

The FEL is devised primarily to facilitate planning normal, therapeutic, and diabetic diets.

Objectives of this activity:

To translate the diet prescription into food exchanges
To plan for a meal pattern using the FEL

Procedure:

This activity will be divided into four (4) worksheets (Worksheet A, B, C, and D)
