The food exchange lists are groups of weighed foods that approximately contribute
the same macronutrient value. Within each food list, one exchange is approximately
equal to another in the three macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats),
and they can be exchanged in meal planning without significant differences in dietary
intakes of patients. Food lists can be used in individualized dietetic planning or
nutrition education.
