Are there any entrees that require me to add ingredients to complete the meal?

A handful of our entrees require you to include additional calories to complete the meal, such as adding milk with your cereal or a roll to a sandwich.  These additions do not count as an additional SmartCarb or PowerFuel serving for that meal.  This addition will simply complete your meal choice. You’ll still be able to enjoy your PowerFuels and SmartCarbs as you normally would on days where you have these entrees.

Tips:

*Entrees requiring a whole grain roll or whole grain crackers: For bread, 1 serving is between 80 and 120 calories with at least 3g fiber. For crackers, 1 serving should be 130 calories or less with at least 3g fiber. See the Nutrisystem Grocery Guide for more tips on choosing bread and crackers.

*Entrees requiring adding milk with your cereal: We recommend using ½ cup (4 fl oz) fat free milk.
