Control Diabetes with Diabetes Meal Planning
April 27 2011
If you want to control diabetes a Meal Plan is a must. Many struggle with how to control diabetes through diet, but it really boils down to four things;
- How much food you eat
- When you eat
- Properly combining the food you eat
- And what that food will do to your blood sugar levels
Control Your Diet
Carbohydrates have the greatest impact on your blood sugar levels, but diabetes also increases your risk of heart disease. MealEasy’s diabetic meal plan is a nutrient rich, heart-healthy diet that regulates your intake of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, sodium and cholesterol.
MealEasy’s diabetic meal plan program is an effective diabetes control diet. The meal planner allows you to still enjoy your favorite foods but with meals that are designed to ensure that;
- You maintain a balanced diabetic diet
- Your diet is high in fiber
- Your diet is low in fats, trans fats, sodium and cholesterol
- Your food portion sizes are regulated
- Your calorie intake is controlled

Healthy Eating Habits
One of the most important factors in any successful diabetic meal plan program is to develop consistent healthy eating habits. MealEasy’s diabetic meal planning program promotes consistency, encouraging you to;
- Eat relatively the same amount of healthy foods each day
- Eat at approximately the same time each day
Enjoy a greater variety of healthier food choices. Love the food you eat without overeating.
Recommended Daily Values (DV)
MealEasy’s diabetes meal planner follows the same Daily Values (DV) as recommended by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
If you have Type 2 diabetes the recommended daily diet is a maximum of 2000 calories per day. Managing diabetes is a personal matter and will depend upon your personal health goals, your lifestyle and your nutritional needs. We encourage you to consult with your physician.
As a general rule however, MealEasy’s diabetic meal plan guide adheres to the following Daily Values that divides servings between daily meals and snacks.
- Breakfast – up to 25%
- Lunch – up to 25%
- Dinner – up to 25%
- This allows up to 25% for snacks!
Say No to Restrictive Diabetes Diets
There’s no need for you to purchase special foods or to adopt a restricted diabetes diet plan in order to control diabetes. Let us help you develop healthy eating habits where you maintain a regular eating regimen and eat moderately from a variety of nutrient rich healthy foods that you love.
MealEasy’s diabetic meal plan program will help you control diabetes with diet. Your blood sugar levels can be maintained and in most cases improved because this diabetic meal planner limits the amount of excess calories, cholesterol, trans fats and fat that is consumed.
No More Exchange Meal Planning
Many diabetic meal planning programs focus on the “exchange” system. In the exchange method, foods are grouped into categories such as fruits, starches, meats, fats, etc. Foods in the same food category have equal amounts of protein, calories, fats, carbohydrates, etc., so one food item can be exchanged for another in the same category since the effect on blood sugar levels are about the same.
Most diabetics however don’t want to be bogged down with deciding what foods to exchange for another. That’s why MealEasy has eliminated the need for diabetic exchange meal planning. You can choose meals based on your tastes and mood since each diabetic meal plan is already balanced for the amount of calories, carbohydrates, fats, sodium, etc. With MealEasy you can also view the nutritional information for each diabetic meal.
Everything Is Done for You
MealEasy’s diabetic meal plan system has taken care of everything for you. Our diabetic plan follows recognised diabetic guidelines avoiding the use of complicated “glycemic index” methods. Each meal includes carbohydrate nutrient information for diabetics who are “counting carbohydrates”. Our diabetic meal planner utilizes only the healthiest foods in the right amounts including the healthiest carbohydrates like those found in fruit, low fat dairy products, vegetables and whole grains. We’ve also created each diabetic meal plan to include fiber rich foods like whole wheat flour, wheat bran, legumes, nuts, fruits and vegetables.
Diabetics should obtain individual advice from qualified health professionals prior to making dietary changes.
