Q: I have diabetes, will this meal plan work for me?
A: All Meal Squeeze meals are well balanced, and are generally around 30-45 grams of carbs per serving, which is an appropriate range for most people with diabetes. The occasional pasta dish may be closer to 60 grams. Some members choose to eat lower carb diets, and they make simple substitutions to reduce the carbs, like using riced cauliflower instead of rice, or zucchini noodles instead of regular pasta.
Q: Do you accommodate for allergies and intolerances?
A: At this time Meal Squeeze does not provide personalized meal plans, however, many members are able to make small modifications for allergies and intolerances. Many of the meals are naturally gluten free and/or dairy free, and most others can be modified easily. Nuts are not common, and are easy to exclude as they are sometimes used for garnish. Tonya is well versed in allergies and is happy to suggest substitutions you may need.
