Combination Foods List
Many foods we eat are mixed together
in various combinations. These combination foods do not fit into any one
exchange list. Often it is hard to tell what is in a casserole dish or
prepared food item. This is a list of exchanges for some typical
combination foods. This list will help you fit these foods into your
meal plan. For information about other combination foods, consult a
dietitian.
