Convert Phase 2 Recipe to a Phase 1 Recipe
When converting a recipe from phase 2 to phase 1, remember that carbohydrates need to go down a bit and fat needs to move up a bit. Whole kernel grains and starchy vegetables in a Phase 2 recipe should be swapped for beans, non-starchy vegetables, or non-tropical fruit in order to create a phase 1 meal. The cheat sheets for Phase 1 and Phase 2 should help as you begin playing around in your own kitchen.
A good general rule is to create your meal around a 4 to 6 ounce serving of protein, adding lots of non-starchy veggies, a good quality source of fat (more or less depending on the fat content of your protein), and natural carbs from beans, fruit, and (depending on whether you’re forming a phase 1 or phase 2 meal) starchy vegetables or whole kernel grains.
