Your outcome

A base/protein/produce swap list.

Is this a fit?

You can already use the earlier templates and want to think more carefully about planning, observation or coaching. Level does not grant a qualification or clinical scope.

Before you begin

Work through the prompts using a fictional case or your own non-sensitive observations. This is a planning session, not a harder physical workout. Do not include names, medical records or genetic data in the workspace.

Your working brief

  1. 01

    Choose a meal you use

    Planning prompt

    Write its main ingredients and which ones are hard to find, expensive or disliked.

  2. 02

    Write practical alternatives

    Planning prompt

    For each troublesome ingredient, write an alternative you enjoy. Consider the role it plays in the meal, preparation needs and allergy labels.

  3. 03

    Check what changes

    Planning prompt

    A substitution may change protein, fortification, texture or cooking time. Do not assume every plant drink or meat substitute is nutritionally equivalent.

  4. 04

    Try one version

    Planning prompt

    Prepare one portion using package cooking instructions. Note taste, satisfaction, cost and whether you would make it again.

Make it work for you

Use the earlier levels whenever they fit better. Advanced levels add planning and judgment; they do not require harder exercise, restrictive eating or a higher health score.
